There's been a suggestion to move this graticule to Burning Man, Nevada. While it is outside the usual scheme of naming grats after the largest/most notable town within them, Burning Man is a well-known event even outside of the region, while the town of Gerlach is unheard of except perhaps in relation to the event. As such, I personally feel it's worth naming the grat after the most recognizable feature of it, even though it isn't a town. Any objections to the move? -[[User:Haberdasher|Haberdasher]] 12:54, 15 April 2012 (EDT) | There's been a suggestion to move this graticule to Burning Man, Nevada.
