-The [[Oxford, Mississippi|Oxford]] graticule has a close hash (relative to Collierville) for [[2012-03-09 34 -89|Friday]], so we may attempt that this evening. From my apartment, it's a 40 minute drive south, with just a quick hop on US-78. Doesn't look like it's on private property, but I'm not sure.  From google maps, it appears to be about a dozen yards into a line of trees, off of one of those big swaths they cut for the power lines and towers.  Except it doesn't look like there's any towers... interesting.  Who knows?!  Let's find out.

-Sunday's is going to be out there regardless of the graticule.  But still achievable.

-Saturday's hash is north of Millington [[2012-03-03 35 -89|again]]...  Definitely on some farm land. A shout away from the river.  Not the best candidate, but we'll see.

-The East Memphis geohash for today is the closest geohash to my apartment I think I've ever seen.  Google maps shows it to be in a residential area, nearby an old folks home, very close to somebody's back yard.  I can't tell if they have a fence, as there are trees in the way, but the hash point looks like it's practically on top of this hypothetical fence.  So this one could be easy or complicated.  Either way, I'm thinking we'll bring a frisbee and a dog...
