2009-04-08 49 -123.Rhonda.JPG

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 (35/48)





Upcoming

  • Scout the bridge access bike route from both sides and for all arrival and departure directions for the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge - will need to know this if I want to do a pure bicycle geohash that isn't best accessed via downtown or on the north shore.
  • New hashmobile and lengthening days hopefully mean more geohashing! No more midweek all-day expeditions for me though. Darn job.
  • Work trip to Pennsylvania for 2.5 weeks.

Goals

  • My origin hash spot looks so easy to access, I'm going to go for it next time I visit my parents (with time to spare in the trip up or back). 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.
  • More bike hashing. Or walk hashing. Or even bus hashing. This car thing is faster, but human-powered is more fun. (Although I wouldn't turn down an airhash just because it isn't human powered.)

Personal firsts

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

Geohashers met

Other pages

  • POSTED: list of my no trespassing geohashes for the POSTED achievement.
  • Cycling: list of my bicycle trip distances.
  • xkcd Centurion: list of Saturday meetups attended.
  • BC Regional Districts project: Graticule maps of BC's Regional Districts, for a more feasible regional geohash award in BC.

Ribbons earned

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