Hi. My name is Rhonda, and I like adventure. Robyn thinks I am at least as insane as she is, possibly due to my first ever geohash being a (planned) 4 hour kayak expedition.

Geohashes attempted

Geohashers met

Upcoming

  • Scout the bridge access bike route for the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge - will need to know this if I want to do a pure bicycle geohash that isn't downtown or on the north shore.
  • No water geohashes for me until the new shipment of Sevylor kayaks arrives at the end of the month. Mine has a manufacturing defect and Canadian Tire is going to replace it no problem ... as soon as they have any to replace it with!
  • Thinking of buying a bike trailer, to carry the kayak on. Any recommendations?
  • Out of town for the Victoria Day long weekend for family stuff. I may try a hash point in my parents' graticule, if the family stuff allows it.
  • Out of town the last week of May, not bringing my computer. I will try to survive the geohashing withdrawal symptoms.
  • Find my sunscreen. I have at least three bottles of the stuff, and I can never find it. And I got a (mild) sunburn on the clifftop picnic geohash, so sunburn season has started.

Goals

My origin hash spot looks so easy to access, I'm going to go for it next time I visit my parents. It's about 500m (straight line) from highway 5, and google maps shows what appears to be a logging road that passes within 20m or less of the spot.

Personal firsts

This is things that I did for the first time in my life while or because of geohashing.

  • Rode a bike across an international border.
  • Went to the US on a lark. (All other trips were planned in advance.)
  • Bicycle camping.

Ribbons earned

I'm only listing the first time I get a given ribbon. Unless I find it amusing to include again.
