About Me

Bienvenid@s. I'm a Spanish teacher in Forsyth County. I made an account while still a lowly grad student at Wake Forest University (though my alma mater, and the owner of most of my heart, is UNC-Chapel Hill) to hold myself to my goal of starting to geohash. And as of May 14, 2012, I've met that goal and am totally hooked.

Completed Expeditions

2012-05-15_36_-80

Failed Expeditions

2012-11-24_35_-79

Photos

Me, sitting in my car, in the driveway, less than 400 feet from the 2012-11-24_35_-79 hashpoint. SOCLOSE.
Somewhere in this (blurry) field was the 2012-11-24_35_-79 hashpoint.
Really nothing much to see here--a dark residential area at the 2012-05-15_36_-80 point--other than my absolutely rabid red-eye, which happens in almost every photo of me.
A closeup of the 2012-05-15_36_-80 coordinates. Also the tell-tale "Your battery is ABOUT TO DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH" red light.
