I live in the southeast corner of the [[Los Angeles, California]], graticule (34 N, 118 W). I check regularly for accessible points in the [[Los_Angeles,_California|Los Angeles]], [[San_Bernardino,_California|San Bernardino]], [[Long_Beach,_California|Long Beach]], and [[Santa_Ana,_California|Santa Ana]] graticules. [[User:Boppy5|Boppy5]] joins me when able.
