| − | 2008-05-31 -- The coordinates for Saturday, May 31st are available. It appears that at the time of this post, the [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ Map lookup] page was using Thursday's Dow opening to calculate Saturday's coordinates, so the coordinates it gives is incorrect. The correct coordinates are: 0.037487, 0.281266 (as shown on the Geohashing [http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Main_Page main page]).

| − | 38/-95 graticule- The coordinates are 38.037487°, -95.281266° [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=38.0374870832648067%C2%B0,+-95.2812664767643918%C2%B0&ie=UTF8&ll=38.655488,-94.963074&spn=1.561433,2.570801&z=9&iwloc=addr Google Maps]. This is at the far south edge of the graticule, south of Garnett and northeast of Iola.

| − | 39/-95 graticule- The coordinates are 39.037487°, -95.281266° [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=39.0374870832648067%C2%B0,+-95.2812664767643918%C2%B0&ie=UTF8&ll=39.027052,-95.25198&spn=0.097082,0.160675&t=h&z=13&iwloc=addr Google Maps]. This point falls in Lawrence north of the Kansas river. While the point is on private property, it is nearby Riverfront Park, which would provide a meeting place.

| − | Note from TheTagger: I think there should be an Achievement for this... I've actually met the lady who lives on the property the 39/-95 geohash is on. I work for the County surveyor, and we were doing some work in that area, and she came out with her dogs to see what we were doing. She was a nice person, but a bit of a loon :) One of her dogs was cool too: it was half wolf! Well, at least that's what she said, and it did look like a wolf, so I buy it. Anyways, long story short, with a loony-type land owner and wolf creatures lurking about, getting to the exact coordinates will prove impossible, but I will be at the intersection of N 2050 Rd and E 1250 Rd (half mile east of coordinates) around 4 o'clock Saturday so I can say I got as close as possible. If anyone else decides to meet, I'll see you there! (and if you want, leave a note here so I know who to expect!)
