PLZ TO HALP: The XKCD graticule map has offset (43.702114, -77.838062) but the coordinates on the Main Page say (43.0374870832648067, -77.2812664767643918)? Who's right? [[User:danierrr|danierrr]]

The location was reached by 5 people. Since the actual site was on a "posted" (no trespassing) empty lot that was up for sale, only 3 people went out for the brief trek. En route to the location, we came upon a treehouse/deer lookout. When you find something like that, there is only one thing to do: climb it! The group went out to a local diner for milkshakes and food afterwards.
