This graticule contains all of Waterloo, Iowa and the surrounding metro area (Cedar Falls, North Cedar, Evansdale, Elk Run Heights, Raymond). It also contains Waverly,

Special Conditions

Probability of a road going directly to the Geohash is not good. It will probably be in the middle of a cornfield. "Is this Heaven? No, Dumbass this is Iowa."

 == Special Conditions ==
-As of June, 2008 the Cedar River and much of the surrounding area is still flooded. Please check road conditions with the [http://www.511ia.org/ Iowa DOT]. If today's location is under floodwater, it probably won't be much fun to geohash there, so please try to find an alternate (preferably dry) location.
+Probability of a road going directly to the Geohash is not good. It will probably be in the middle of a cornfield. "Is this Heaven? No, Dumbass this is Iowa."
-Additionally, the town of Parkersburg was hit by a tornado on May 25, 2008, and the town has been cordoned off; only residents and approved volunteers and visitors are allowed in. As such, a geohash near the town is not likely to be viable.
