Today's Location: (47, -117)

The Spokane, WA graticule is at latitude 47, longitude -117. It completely encloses the cities of Spokane, Cheney, Airway Heights, Medical Lake, and Deer Park as well as several towns south of Spokane and just across the Idaho border. Houser and Settlers, and some neighborhoods of Post Falls, Idaho, are west of the 117th meridian line. The graticule is almost entirely land but includes several lakes, rivers, forests, farmlands and mountains, most notably all of Mount Spokane state park.

Participants

  • Hobbes I'm going to try and make it to Saturday's meet-up if it is close enough to Spokane. I do not know of any other XKCD fans in the area so for now I'll assume that it will be just me.
  • Speedhole I plan on making it to the first Spokane Geohash. Been interested in Geocaching as well. (woo, first wiki edit/post)
  • Thom Seattle resident and occasional Spokane visitor.
  • Sirocco Whitman County resident, barely on the grid but hoping to jump aboard. Would be game for setting up a hard-and fast time to meet up for weekend coordinates, though with some reservation about coords north of I90, thank you $4/gallon.
  • XKCD-Anon People actually go to these things? Live in CDA but it seems that page is inactive so I may try to join up with the Spokane ones.
