General discussion

It seems that the Wasatch front is bisected in both directions, so why limit ourselves to one of the four potentially nearby coordinates? Today is May 25, and it looks like the (40, -112) point is right on Antelope Island, about a mile east of Antelope Drive. Very accessible. I'm headed out there today, whether I can find a GPS or not.

The question is, how to coordinate which of the four points is ideal?

I added a section for signing up/voting for different graticules, and added a dedicated Ogden graticule, since it's almost entirely accessible. Friday voting/sign ups will start for the Saturday meet-up, and we should know where we're going by Saturday if all goes well. --Tsen 06:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I re-ordered the page to prioritize the meetup planning section, removed old planning text, and re-ordered the News section to be in descending order. --Pardey 16:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
