The non-water 'hashers are meeting on the nearest dry land, which is a small spit that juts out into the bay from Point San Bruno Park.  Look for us at 37.65498010°, -122.37551808°.

Not quite reachable from the road, we got within 150m of the actual point.
 
 
Things to consider bringing: GPS, camera, [[Radio_Communications|FRS radio]], binoculars/telephoto to look for water 'hashers.  Maybe random tourists from SFO or San Francisco?

In case you can't edit wikis, there's a [http://groups.google.com/group/sfsj-geohash mailing list] for the SF/SJ graticules.  If you want to subscribe by email, send a blank email to sfsj-geohash-subscribe@googlegroups.com
 
 
 
== Ride-sharing / Transit ==
 
 
 
The landfall location is a 5 mile drive from SFO.  If you have a ride / need a ride / want to share a taxi, etc., add yourself here.
 
 
 
Also, since there are multiple nearby transit locations, please comment on which ones would be easiest for you (SFO, last BART stop before SFO, Caltrain, etc.) -- that may make ride-sharing easier.
 
 
 
[[User:Peter Kaminski|Pete]] - driving from San Francisco or San Mateo, may be able to offer ride from one nearby transit location (SFO, Millbrae Caltrain, South City BART, etc.)  Can't stay long, have to drive to SF Zoo by 5pm, could drop you back off at transit on the way.  Email kaminski@istori.com to coordinate.
