-'''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!

-'''Weekend of 2012-03-17:'''
-* On [[2012-03-16 35 -90|Friday]], the West Memphis geohash looks pretty interesting.  It's on the west bank of the river, but on Tennessee land.  Right out front a farm or house that looks (at least, from google maps' view) to be abandoned.  Rusty cars or something all over the place, the land doesn't look maintained.  It's very close to the river, so I suspect it got destroyed with the bad flooding last year.  If that's so, it should make for a really interesting adventure and some great photography.  Assuming the weather permits...

-'''[[2012-03-14|Pi Day 2012]]:'''
-* 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...<br/>

-:: Update: We ended up not going; had important things to take care of that night.  -[[User:MayorOfBoxTown|MayorOfBoxTown]] 10:02, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
-'''Weekend of 2012-03-10:'''
-* 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.<br/>
-* Sunday's is going to be out there regardless of the graticule.  But still achievable.<br/>
-* 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.<br/>
