Today's Location: St. Paul, MN

The St. Paul SE, Minnesota graticule is at latitude 44, longitude -92. The city of St. Paul is right along the north end of the wester border of this graticule; St. Paul residents may want to consider geohashing in Minneapolis SW, St. Paul NE, and Minneapolis NW as well. The graticule is 111.2 km (69.1 miles) from north to south and averages 79.3 km (49.3 miles) from east to west, with a 1.4 km variance between the north and south border lengths. Residents of this graticule will be within about 68.4 km (42.5 miles) of a hash point in this or the surrounding graticules at any time.

Local Geohashers

Erica lives in this graticule, though she has been known to Geo Hash in the surrounding ones as well.

Scott lives in this area, but travels to all four corners of the Twin Cities graticule area when he can.

Mark lives hereabouts and generally selects the best candidate from the four Twin Cities points.

Joel lives in the NW quadrant but strikes wherever it is most convenient.

Skyler lives in Minneapolis, but also spends time at parents house in Goodhue.

Alan lives in the NE corner of graticule 44 -93, on the East side of St. Paul.

Steve lives in the NE most corner of graticule SW Minneapolis (44, -93) near the U and is new to this, but will try and keep an eye out for nearby hashes near the corner of the four twin cities graticules.

Aaron lives at his dad's house in Minnetonka (in the Minneapolis SW graticule). He might show up in one of the four Twin Cities graticules (or possibly the St. Cloud or Hutchinson graticules) if he actually remembers to go.

Mark lives six miles from the south edge of the St. Paul SE, Minnesota graticule so he tends keeps an eye on the Austin, Minnesota graticule as well. He just finally got a GPS and feels somewhat compelled to complete Geo Hashing expeditions now.

Nathan lives in the far North of this graticule, though he plans to head out to the other 3 Twin City area graticules as they are convenient.
