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's and the surrounding graticules every day, but since we're 99%* farms around here, I don't actually make many expeditions. If you visit the hashpoint on a given day on public property, especially near the metro of Peoria, then you might just find me there!
