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. Will check Wednesday's hash.

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!

Erica actually lives in the SE graticule of the Twin Cities (St. Paul SE, Minnesota), but is open to traveling to other Geo Hashes that are somewhat close by.

digory lives here and will attend either these ones or the Minneapolis SW, Minnesota as he has time and they are reasonably accessible (or unreasonably as he has more time)

Brendan lives in the Saint Paul area but is willing to travel anywhere within a reasonable distance

Joel is tall and blonde, lives just northwest of Minneapolis and will strike, er, visit, at random. (He's a nice guy, really.)

Attempts

Successful attempt. Joel made it to the spot at 4pm but there was no one there. Very cool that it was a spot close to the city on a Saturday, but a pretty difficult location to reach.
Geohash attempted. Abi stopped next to the field where the coordinates fell at approximately 4:30. There was no way that she was going to attempt to sneak past the person on a tractor mower next to the field and hop the fence, so she got back in her car and continued on her way back to Minneapolis.
