User:Dunstergirl
I'm Lelani. I have loved maps and knowing where I am on the planet since I was a teen and got lost with my mom and sister in some Colorado wilderness. So when I stumbled on geohashing I KNEW it was for me. And it gave me an excuse to buy a GPS unit, which I've wanted forever, just never had a good enough reason to spend the money.
I live in rural British Columbia, in the Grand Cache graticule. Haven't figured out (yet) how to link it properly, and Grand Cache is a day's drive from here (on good roads) so it's a bit hard to relate to the name. Just a figment of geography.
In real life I am part-owner of the Dunster General Store, so you might find me behind the counter there a couple days a week (or more, depending) and I edit/write about climate change and related issues the rest of the time (three IPCC reports under my belt already and booked for AR5, yeehaw).
Hobbies/activities include survival (firewood, snow removal, etc. etc. living here is NOT easy), chickens (free-range, ongoing natural selection experiment for the past decade or so), genealogy, surviving single motherhood with teenage daughter, and contributions to the community I live in.
hahah first success: 2012-03-04 53 -119. Should have just used my compass, would have done better.
And second: 2012-04-03 52 -119. Many trucks and a random hitchhiker :-)
Third: 2012-04-18 53 -120. In honour of my mother's 81st birthday today. Fewer trucks.

Regions don't always correspond to official political divisions, but to how locals and geography define them. We are separated by mountains and rivers from everywhere else, so I believe I have completed the Robson Valley (all virgin) tho would like to have Jasper on board to be sure.
