Hi, I'm Kortney.  I live in Columbia, and can't afford to drive down to the Lake every weekend to chase down these crazy southern geohashes, so I may have to give in and hit points in [[Moberly, Missouri|Moberly]] instead.  I'm evidently the first person to show any interest in [[Jefferson City, Missouri|my graticule]], and with any luck I can get the [[Virgin Graticule]] achievement.

Hi, I'm Kortney. I live in Columbia, and can't afford to drive down to the Lake every weekend to chase down these crazy southern geohashes, so I may have to give in and hit points in Moberly instead. I'm evidently the first person to show any interest in my graticule, and with any luck I can get the Virgin Graticule achievement.

I also, sadly, work 11:30 - 8 on weekdays, which gives me very little time to get to weekday geohashes before I have to be back to work.

Attempted (or not) Geohashes

2008-07-31 38 -92 looked to be in a nice, flat, open area, and I strongly considered it, but I would not have had time to get there and back before work.

First successful geohash! 2009-02-07 38 -92 was literally 5 minutes from my house, but alas, I had neither camera nor GPS for confirmation. I drove through, slowed down, announced that I was from the Internet, and left. No proof, though. I was in a hurry, what can I say? Hey, first geohash, and virgin graticule, at that!
