Me, at my first geohash.

About Me

Home is the Boise area. Idaho has an excess of virgin graticules. I plan to remedy that. Hope to meet some of you on an expedition eventually. I will attempt to walk/bicycle to hashes when possible. However, the reality of this part of the world is that a large percentage of hashes will involve driving at least part of the way to reach.

Expeditions

• 2013-01-05 43 -116 - My first expedition.
• 2013-01-16 43 -116 - Reached the hashpoint, but failed the goal of getting the Speed Racer achievement.
• 2013-03-01 42 -115 - Popped the cherry of this virgin graticule.
• 2013-03-02 43 -115 - My first failed expedition. But since it was really a part of the previous expedition, it wasn't a complete failure.
• 2013-03-03 43 -117 - Me and Pojana fail to reach the hash, but manage to enjoy ourselves anyway.
• 2013-03-06 43 -116 - Made it to within ~720ft of the hash, but couldn't go further due to fences.
• 2013-03-08 43 -115 - Took an enjoyable walk in the desert at night.
• 2013-03-08 43 -116 - Tried for a multihash, but coordinates were on private property.
• 2013-03-09 43 -116 - Reached a hashpoint amidst off-road vehicle trails.
