38 / m / 40,-89

Hello! My name's David and I live in Morton, Illinois, U.S.A., which is in the Peoria, Illinois graticule. I check the geohash location for the Peoria graticule every day, but since we're 99% farms around here, I don't actually make many expeditions (though I did just get a GPS, so that makes it easier). If you see the hashpoint on a given day on public property, especially near the metro of Peoria, then you might just find me there!

What am I contributing to this community?
I'm slowly building regional geohash maps for the 50 United States, based on similar maps people had created for other regions (namely European nations). By my last count there are 30 left to do...
