From Geohashing
Revision as of 21:51, 30 November 2009 by imported>Bdaughe5
| “ | I didn't bring any skis on this expedition, so when the GPS reported the hash being 59 m from the road, I thought "close enough" and called it a night. No, really, I walked/crawled through the waist-deep snow to reach the hash. I should be declared insane, but I made it.

My name is Bo Daugherty. I am a neogeohasher from West Knoxville, TN. I found out about geohashing on digg. xkcd is usually on the Top Stories, so I clicked on the link and had my little laugh. I was in quite the inquisitive mood that day, which led me to Wikipedia searching the origins of xkcd. After reading a little about Randall Munroe, I came across a link to geohashing. Here, my adventures began!
My first ever hash was attempted and succeeded on November 27th, 2009.
