Today's Location: [Santa Cruz, CA]

The Santa Cruz graticule is at latitude 36, longitude -122. It includes most of the city of Santa Cruz, but seems to be about 99% covered by the Pacific Ocean. Chances are pretty slim, but if we see some coordinates on land, a Saturday meetup might be in order. On days when the spot is off-shore but within 1 mile, Ted suggests that we try to make it, anyway (boats, surfboards, whatever), if it can be done safely. Our backup graticule is the one for San Jose, California, on those (frequent) days when ours is unreachable.

Notable Dates

2008-05-24 36 -122 -- (1st XKCD Meetup) Deep ocean. Tried San Jose, California, but was on private property, behind a keypad-only access gate. (Met some very nice ranchers, though :) (Actually, I later realized that I had attempted the 5/23 location on 5/24. <sigh>)
