From Geohashing
Revision as of 04:56, 2 December 2016 by imported>OtherJack (Geohashes so far: add today's expedition)
Lol-asg.png 39 / m / 40,-73

I just moved to New York (uptown Manhattan) about a year ago! Excited to geohash throughout the tri-state area, especially on weekends. I used to live in 47,-122 for some years, where I discovered the strange magic of geohashing. I was born and raised in 42,-87 and have also lived in 40,-88 and 22,114.

I have no car so will be using transit, feet and/or bike to reach points.
