Introduction

Warning: Not a real doctor.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Canadian Ninja, which I am well aware is a mouthful, so I ask most people to call me Geoff, though various short versions are fine. I have a tendency to ramble on and on, generally only stopping when someone points out that I've been going on for far too long, or as is often the case, I realize I've been going on for the last thirty minutes without so much as a breather. This makes Skype rather entertaining at times.

Goals

• Complete a minesweeper achievement using Lake City, Florida as the center. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of nothing, for the most part, which seems like it might be dull.
• Complete hashes in five different states/provinces.
• Leave an entire deck of cards as markers. See below.
• Complete a reverse regional achievement in the Jacksonville graticule at the county level.
  • Duval County, FL
  • Clay County, FL
  • St. John's County, FL
  • Nassau County, FL
  • Camden County, GA
  • Charlton County, GA

Markers

Where possible, I'd like to leave markers of these expeditions. My chosen sign stems from a recently started collection of playing cards. The cards are shuffled before the top one is picked, so there's no particular order to the cards. On one side, a link to geohashing.org/marker. On the other side are the coordinates reached.
