The Newark graticule is at 40 N, -74 W. This may very well be the most densely populated graticule in the United States, as it includes almost the entire northern half of New Jersey, the mostly densely populated state (Census), as well as Staten Island, western sections of Brooklyn and lower Manhattan in New York, and a part of Pennsylvania northeast of Philadelphia. In addition, other than Raritan Bay, there are no large sections of water.

A Facebook Group has been created for this graticule.

7/16/08

Behind a house on the corner of Van Liew Avenue and Graulich Drive, Milltown, Middlesex County.

7/15/08

Close to the south shore of White Meadow Lake, Rockaway Township.

7/14/08

Brook Park, in or near Levittown, PA. Strange: third geohash in Pennsylvania in 10 days.

7/13/08

Splash! The mouth of the Raritan River, between Perth Amboy and South Amboy.

7/12/08 - Saturday

Merck site on US Route 1, Rahway. Definitely private property. After further review, the geohash was accessible. You can get into the plant grounds without clearance, just not into any individual building. The geohash was in the middle of a street, so it was possible, though not en masse.

7/11/08

A house on E. Union Avenue, Bound Brook, three doors down from the church on Mountain Avenue.

7/10/08

Between River Road and Aquetong Rd, south of New Hope, Pennsylvania. Close to Washington Crossing State Park.

7/9/08

Splash! In Sandy Hook Bay, between Brooklyn and Staten Island. Should be a nice view of the Verrazano Bridge from there.

7/8/08

New Egypt, NJ. In the woods south of Woods Road.

7/7/08

North bank of the Raritan River, Piscataway.

7/6/08

In the woods, up a private drive off Sunset Circle, Annandale. May be private property. How about we meet at the beach at Spruce Run Reservoir instead?

7/5/08 - Saturday

Behind a house on Hillside Avenue near Neshaminy Creek, Hulmeville, Pennsylvania.

7/4/08 - Holiday

In the woods of Spring Hill Road, Amwell. Not a good place to view fireworks ;-)

7/3/08

52nd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenue, Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The R train stops at 52rd and 4th.

7/2/08

Wrightstown Road and Creamery Road, Newtown, Pennsylvania. Near a construction site along a new (or private?) road.

7/1/08

On the campus of Life Center Academy, Old York Road off Columbus Road, Burlington. Foul territory behind the visitors' bench.

6/30/08

17 Cornell St, West Orange. A lovely split-level, very close to Francis Byrne Golf Course - but it would take an intentional Bad Shot to achieve the Golf Geohash here.
