17 / m / 27,-82Nominally in Tampa, FL (27, -82), but it's tough here because they (neighboring graticules included) always land in the water or in a farm or some matter of private property. Eh, there's a few accessible ones here and there. Also due to move northwest soon, at the beginning of 2025 (probably).
I found geohashing a few months ago (it must've been around September 2023), and of course I didn't understand it at first, but it's allowed me to finally understand world coordinates and I often imagine of going into the most nowheres with this. I also look at Google Earth occasionally, and I don't think I would've been otherwise.
2024-12-13: still here, laughing at the amazing inaccessibility of this graticule
