I'm wondering if we should combine the other four graticules around Denver into this page. I happen to live in the southwest one and am beginning to wonder if this should be an all day event for the driving rather than just meeting at 4 on Saturdays. -Michael

-It is possible we should combine them all.

-A thought - Maybe we should write a small script or manually do the math to find the centroid coordinate of the four location points for the Saturday meets, for maximum attendance?

Denver has been combined into one article. As to finding locations, I think it'll be pretty easy and obvious which one is closest most of the time, but we can always discuss which one to go to.

For the first Saturday, I say we find the easiest of the 4 points and encourage that to be the primary meetup location.

I added a Facebook group (if Toronto can do it, so can we!)

Geohash - Denver: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=23222385469 (hopefully that will bring in a few more people)

Who made it to the SW point today? I'd like to keep stats on everyone. Akedrou? Are you on the partisipants list? I may head out to that one as well. -Damien

Well, uh, Keenesburg Saturday (NE quadrant)?

It seems there is a problem with the Geohashing Coordinate Calculator. Every time the update button is clicked, a new geohash point is generated. Any one able to work out the point by hand?

I'm totally not seeing that, and my coordinates match the "canonical" coordinates listed from the main page. 0.1266480113970560, 0.5475331240942810 --Doubt

Saturday the 24th Destination

If we're seriously discussing the NW quadrant, we should be clear on what we need to get there. It looks like the easiest route would theoretically be up Beaver Reservoir Road (CR-96). I'm not sure how to tell if it's open, or what condition it is in, or how far up we could get. I have 4WD (and a GPS) so I'm game, but it'd be nice if we could all get there (check out the terrain map on google to get an idea of what we're getting into). --Doubt

The link, for reference: 40.126648°,-105.547534° --Doubt

I really think it's a hike up what looks like either a stream or a path, I just can't figure out how far that would be. It is however the only one that is not in a mountain or on private property. -Mario
