About Me

42 / m / 42,-78

Late to the party but so far I've found Geohashing intriguing and a lot of fun. My home Graticule is Buffalo, NY which has been quiet for quite some time. I always wanted an excuse to get a GPS and I picked up a used one cheaply on eBay. Should be very useful even on hiking/biking trips when not hashing. I love to get out on my bike for long road rides but I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like these past few years.

Achievements

Goals

The Hobbit - I love walking around bare-foot and who doesn't love a picnic. Will have to pick this one carefully though. A good opportunity could be when the hash lands in Allegany State Park.
Border hash - shouldn't be too hard since Canada is so close.
