Howdy partner! On this site I go by Kyr (she/they pronouns). I'm a Midwestern geohasher, currently local to the Twin Cities and Minnesota more broadly. I started geohashing in November 2024. Completely forgot how I originally found out about this wiki but happy to be here and to be part of the community, both on-wiki and on Discord. Currently the graticuleader in (43, -92).
