Today's Location: Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis's northwest graticule is at latitude 45, longitude -93. This graticule, based on N45º and W93º, contains the northern portions of both Minneapolis and St. Paul. It also includes most of the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. The graticule extends north almost to Mille Lacs Lake. The area is bordered by Interstate 35 on the East side.
Besides the city, this graticule contains numerous small lakes as well as woodland and farmland, potentially leading to an interesting variety of meetup locations.
Local Geohashers
Rob lives near this and Minneapolis SW, Minnesota. He would be interested in geohashing this upcoming Saturday (May 24) and wants to know what games to bring!
Ford thinks this is cool but is adverse to driving very far. So if we stick with this coarse 1-degree grid (see discussion), I'll wait until the hash hits close to home. Have fun!
