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.
  • Bike in the shop for that new back wheel on Tuesday, so no cycling hashes that day.
  • 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.
  • Camping/whatever with Robyn and Juventas in Vancouver, Vernon, or some graticule in between, this coming weekend.

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.
