The Tecate graticule is 32, -116. It includes the twin cities of Tecate, California and Tecate, Mexico and eastern San Diego County. The local SCA chapter holds two events in Potrero Park every year, and American bikers meet up for an annual rally in Tecate, Mexico.

A quick run through Land usage nets the following:

78.59%	Fields
18.11%	Natural reserves
3.17%	Water
0.08%	Intracity Highways
0.05%	Highways

Notable Dates

  • 2012-02-03 -- The first successful expedition in the graticule.
  • 2012-05-26 32 -116 -- Mouse Over Day 2012, in Santee!

Activities

Local Geohashers

  • Saria thinks she'll have more luck in this graticule than the main San Diego one, since it isn't mostly ocean. :)
  • scerruti passes through here once a year or so.
