This graticule is located at [[29,-90]]. It contains southwestern New Orleans.
  
New Orleans is split among 4 [[graticule|graticules]] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-90&zoom=9 NW (30,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=30&long=-89&zoom=9 NE (30,-89)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-90&zoom=9 SW (29,-90)] [http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=29&long=-89&zoom=9 SE (29,-89)]. Because all 4 graticules contain large amounts of water (Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico), whenever it comes time to choose a location suitable for meeting, the closest to New Orleans that is not located in a body of water should be chosen.

  • Jorge would love to go to one of the locations provided by one of the 4 graticules, provided they're not in the backwater swamp.
  • Not_Dice will keep his eye on the Saturday graticules for any interesting locations.
  • Txoof
  • anaraug never knows if he'll show up or not.
  • Atreides will try to make any of them that aren't in water, provided they are in the northeastern section.
