Today's location: [Muncie, IN]

The Muncie, Indiana graticule is at 40 degrees north, 85 degrees west. Most of this area is cornfields, making locations fairly easy to visit.

Geohashes

2008-09-03 40 -85 -- In the southwest quadrant of the graticule, just outside of Omega, Indiana
2008-05-31 40 -85 -- Southeast of Muncie near Summit Lake State Park. Actual meeting point is unreachable, in Summit Lake on the other side of the road from the park. The park does affer canoe rentals, but the park map says that no boating is allowed in that area.

Achievements

Brett earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement

by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the (40, -85) graticule, here, on 2008-09-03.

Note:This ribbon was awarded by Eldin years after the original expedition took place. The proof provided wasn't really up to current standards, but this was a fairly early expedition. If someone makes (or has made) a later expedition which provides superior proof, it may be possible for them to claim this award instead of the person I'm granting it to
