-'''Weekend of 2012-04-14'''
-* Friday's is out of the question.  Near some buildings in a little town south of Olive Branch, but Street View shows it's behind a big fence topped with barbed wire.  Plus, we're prepping for a trip to Nashville for the weekend, and there aren't even any hash points close to where we'll be, so it's a geohash-free weekend... :(

-'''Weekend of 2012-04-07'''
-* The [[2012-04-07 35 -89|Saturday]] geohash in East Memphis is totally feasible.  It's in a field just off Raleigh LaGrange road, not far from I-40.  There's even a sidewalk and everything.  Assuming nobody's built anything there since Google took a picture of it, I think we can finally deflower the East Memphis graticule.  It's also my mom's birthday!
