I'm of two minds here.  On the one hand, the water geo hash achievement is a rare one in our graticuel, and would be fantastic to earn.  Plus, I adore going to Pyramid Lake, and the hash point isn't ''too'' far off shore; I could easily swim there and back.  On the other hand, it'd be nice to meet our neighbors.  I've set up [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?date=2008-06-21&lat=39&long=-119&zoom=8&abs=1| voting on the mapping site].  The blue point corresponds to our neighboring graticule, since I couldn't get the real point to stick.  Let's see what happens (I'm pulling for Pyramid!). -- [[user:Paveman|Paveman]]

Perhaps we could use the 38, -119 (South Lake Tahoe, California) graticule instead? -- Moose Hole 16:39, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm of two minds here. On the one hand, the water geo hash achievement is a rare one in our graticule, and would be fantastic to earn. Plus, I adore going to Pyramid Lake, and the hash point isn't too far off shore; I could easily swim there and back. On the other hand, it'd be nice to meet our neighbors. I've set up voting on the mapping site. The blue point corresponds to our neighboring graticule, since I couldn't get the real point to stick.
