About Me

I am a fifty year old information technology strategy consultant and semi-professional food writer and cooking instrcutor who lives northeast of Houston, Texas. I've had a lifelong love of maps, aimless travel and determining my geographic location in a airliner wihtout aid of any navigation devices or other supporting information. Yet, I own a sextant, and know how to use it.

Upon learning of the origin, purpose and philosphy of geohasing, I immediately became a devotee; then planned and undertook my first expedition within hours. Based on my understanding of geohasing rules, I failed. By about 30-40 feet. And a few snakes. Well, one snake. But I'm hooked.
