I am a 41 year old social worker living in the Portland, Oregon graticule. Although new to geohashing, I am a long-time arbitrary traveller with an collection of U.S. Counties.

I blog a little about my exploits in arbitrary travel, but also a lot about my exploits in arbitrary book-reading, arbitrary movie-watching, the arbitrary reading of Rennaissance drama and The Bible, and the arbitrary practice of cutting cloth apart and then sewing it back together, at the following sites:

Cinnamon Bear, my hashcot, is a 34 year old teddy bear. He is new to geohashing but is a seasoned veteran as a travel mascot. He has travelled in 44 U.S. states as well as England and Wales, and has been to Hadrian's Wall, the White House, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other well-known sites. He has been to the top of the highest mountain in New Jersey (with me) and to the tops of Oregon's Mt. Hood and Washington's Mt. Saint Helens (without me).

Other Hijinx

2009-11-05 -- Noting that an accessible hash is two miles from my eldest niece's college campus, sent detailed if gnomic instructions in an attempt to score the Puppet Master Geohash achievement. Result: Apparently failed due to recalcitrance of niece..

2009-11-03 -- Laboriously created Oregon page, and links to it on individual graticule pages, out of a sudden compulsion to know which graticules are still available for the Virgin Graticule Achievement.
