The Los Angeles, CA [[graticule]] is at latitude 34, longitude -118.  It does not, of course, enclose the entire city of Los Angeles, much less the Los Angeles metropolitan area.  It is debatably the most central [[graticule]] for Los Angeles, and includes downtown LA. [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] may make a good backup [[graticule]], but it is primarily composed of ocean.

The Los Angeles, California [[graticule]] is at latitude 34, longitude -118.  While not including the entire city of Los Angeles, this graticule includes downtown LA and much of the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. The [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]] graticule, which otherwise mostly contains ocean, includes the portion of the city of Los Angeles which is south of the 10 freeway.

5/24/08: The location for the first Saturday meetup is perfect in every way:  it's on public land (Topanga State Park!), out in the mountains, but accessible by a road (just off Mulholland Drive), and a relatively short drive for most residents of the city and the valley (unless you live in Lancaster...). Considering that much of our graticule is either inaccessible mountains or distant desert (unless you live in Lancaster), this is a fortunate hash indeed.  Let's represent, LA!  4:00pm.

update: Scoping out the coordinates in gEarth... The easiest way to get there is to take the 101 to Canoga Ave. south, left on Golondrina, right on Alhama, left on Mulholland, go 3.9 miles.  It looks like there is a trailhead on the north side of the road and a trail heading north, under the powerlines and  down the ridge.  The coordinates are ~260 ft. down this trail.

Do not try to take Mulholland from the 405...there is a gate.  If you're in the mood for a short hike, an alternative route is to take Reseda Ave until it dead ends at the gate...continue on foot until you get to Mulholland, turn left and go another mile or so.  This part of Mulholland is a graded dirt road, but it appears suitable for passenger vehicles.
