Today's Location: [San Jose, CA]
The San Jose graticule is at latitude 37 N, longitude 121 W. It covers much of the San Jose area, the Contra Costa Valley (including Pleasanton and Livermore), and part of the San Joaquin Valley (including Stockton, Tracy, and the western half of Modesto). This graticule makes for a good fallback adventure when the San Francisco graticule's geohash is in the water, as often happens.
The San Jose, CA and San Francisco, CA share a mailing list for meetup planning and other discussion.
Notable Dates
Historic map of Geohash spots for 37 -121 (San Jose.)
2008-05-21 Early SJ hashers almost got to the spot...
2008-05-24 North end of Coyote Lake County Park, near Gilroy/San Martin, just off of 101.
2008-05-25 East of Stockton, looks like the middle of a field.
2008-05-26 East of Livermore, just shy of 2000' elevation. A mile from Patterson Pass Road, in the middle of private property near a wind farm. This location is on the Vieira Ranch, which is all private property off of Patterson Pass Road. Please do not trespass.
2008-05-31 (An XKCD meetup day) Just off of Hwy 152, between Gilroy & San Luis reservoir. Looks to possibly be a few feet from a (dirt (fire? ranch?)) road. Please do not trespass.
2008-06-01 Heh. Right off the Coleman St (SJC) offramp. (37.349107934119 -121.91623890427) Easy access by foot, but you should probably park on nearby Spring St. NOTE: Do not illegally cross the freeway ;)
2008-06-04 In the middle of Almaden Quicksilver Park, which covers what used to be a mine, so perhaps there's a possibility for an Undergound Geohash
2008-06-05 Another easy one, logistically -- 300' off the Dinosaur Point Road, near San Luis reservoir. Given the access road, this MAY be a chance to earn the Raptor Geohash achievement.
2008-06-07 (XKCD) Another easy one, logistically. Looks to be in the middle of a farm-field in Patterson (SE of Tracy.) I would expect that a polite visit to the farmer's house would yield little in the way of opposition (please do not tresspass!)
2008-06-08 In a private ranch south of Hwy 152, not all that far from last Saturday. The entire area is marked "No Tresspassing" and invokes a citizen's watch; please do not tresspass.
2008-06-14 In a private field north Grayson, reasonably close to last Saturday.
