Planning Information
- As of 16:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC), the map lookup is incorrect. Use the main page coords. See Template talk:Expeditions/2008-05-31. --Tim P 16:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you go by the coords on the main page you get a location right on the 10 freeway, near the intersection of Union and 20th, by USC. [[1]]
- Mike suggests that meeting on the 10 fwy might be a bad idea.
- Daniel notes that it seems there might be an area beneath the freeway that is safely accessible (although he regrets he will not be able to make it because of a prior commitment). However, upon closer inspection (Google Maps Street View), he realizes that it is a fenced-in area, apparently a self-storage facility[2]. It seems the only solution is for someone to figure out which storage unit is located at the exact coordinates, rent it out, and hold a party inside it.
