The Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah graticule is at latitude 40, longitude -113. As you can see on the map, this graticule is dominated by Dugway Proving Grounds in the south, and the Hill AFB bombing range to the north. Obviously, this is fantastic for those wishing to claim a Restricted Area Geohash achievement, but not so great for the rest of us. The rest of the graticule is relatively open, but take care when venturing out onto the flats - the mud in this area can entrap even the hardiest 4WD vehicles. Take lots of water. And a shovel. And a cellphone, though as Robyn pointed out, once you get away from I-80 cell coverage is not a given.
