Denver is split between four graticule at latitude 39 and 40, longitude -104 and -105. This page is going to try to keep information on all four and coordinate efforts to reach them.
If you plan on actively seeking locations in these graticule, sign the participants section so we know who is out there. Also, please include where you're from so we can arrange carpooling.
// We should consider an easy to find meeting spot prior to Saturday @ 4pm for those without GPS
// to gather and find the actual spot together (note it in the Dates section) - Mario

Participants
Damien and Leah (if the location is near Boulder... gas is expensive)
Jessica (if the location is near Ft. Collins... ditto)
Michael (in Littleton for the summer, so lonely and willing to travel semi-long distances)
Mario (Drive Honda Insight hybrid, as long as it's free to get to the location I'm game)
Significant Dates
May 24th (locations yet unknown)
NW
The NW graticule at 40, -105 conveniently has around 15% of the land is either Rocky Mountain National Park or Roosevelt National Forest, unfortunately, many of the locations though are far from civilization. Included in the NW Denver graticule are Boulder, Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont and others as well as both CU and CSU.
Today's Location
March 21st, 40.179467°, -105.861537°
Today's location for the NW Denver graticule is in Lake Granby in the Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the first location we've received. It is fairly close to roads and not very far from the shore. Unfortunately it is far to the west, away from most of the cities. Perhaps if someone is close they can find there way out there and get a picture or two to launch our Graticule conquering campaign. Since it is so far west, many people might find it easier to get to the destination of the NE graticule.
Lake Granby as well as the nearby town of Granby is named after a lawyer who worked as district attorney in the county. The city of Granby (the closest city to the destination point) is best known for Marvin Heemeyer. Marvin was frustrated over a city zoning dispute in 2004, so he built his own tank and with it demolished town hall and a former judge's widow's home, as well as other buildings. 13 buildings were destroyed for an estimated $7 million in damage. Some people say that Marvin went out of his way not to hurt people, but the question isn't decided. In the end, Marvin's tank, immune to attack from SWAT teams, got stuck and Marvin killed himself with a gun.
