Wiki-lurker extraordinaire...

About me

I'm an [artist], but to make ends meet I'm a shipper at a local steel distributor.

I have always been interested in geography. I love the idea of random adventure and exploring new places, but am quite limited when it comes to being able to geohash. Read: no gps, no car, living in a graticule where most hashpoints end up in some farmers' field.

40 / f / 53,-113

Up and coming...

Spring is here!

I'm taking a road-trip down to Vegas/LA at the end of May, and will be passing through at least 34 different graticules, over half of which are still virgin. Here's hoping for a bit of luck (and free wifi in hotels!)

I have had a bicycle graciously donated to me by Robyn. Please help me name it!

I had been working on a little project tracking how often points in my home graticule land in farmer's fields. I will publish the results when I get the time.

Wiki stuff

Waiting for a good hash has left me time to map out the graticules in some regions.

I have also been fascinated by the recent surge of graticule naming. I'm hoping to be able to jump in when I get a moment or two.
