The city of Fond du Lac is the hub of the 43, -88 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the south. So far, this graticule has only one known member. Thus, he is very lonely and has joined the Madison graticule.

There is a Facebook group for the Fond du Lac region here.

Local Geohashers

  • Mike loves everyone, except you.
  • Mitch lives in Oshkosh, but comes down here occasionally when the coords for Appleton are too far (he's cheap and gas is expensive)
  • Davis tries to attend meetups, but sometimes they are too far away. He comes for the ones in the Hartford-West Bend-Meno Falls triangle, though!
  • Warren is in a great location to get three adjacent graticules right off the bat, should Lake Michigan cooperate.
  • Deanna kinda just follows along with whatever Warren does concerning geohashes.
  • Jon is afraid of this weird wiki contraption.
  • Hemant is also in with the Warren-Deanna-Jon team.
  • RocketMac is in Milwaukee, WI so the more Southern the hash, the better.
  • Sarda calls a place in the center of the southern border home, but sadly is away at college in Dubuque, Iowa for most of August through May.
