This Saturday

2008-05-31 -- The coordinates for Saturday, May 31st are available: 0.0374870832648067, 0.2812664767643918

38/-95 graticule- The coordinates are 38.037487°, -95.281266° Google Maps. This is at the far south edge of the graticule, south of Garnett and northeast of Iola.

39/-95 graticule- The coordinates are 39.037487°, -95.281266° Google Maps. This point falls in Lawrence north of the Kansas river. While the point is on private property, it is nearby Riverfront Park, which would provide a meeting place.

Note from TheTagger: I think there should be an Achievement for this... I've actually met the lady who lives on the property the 39/-95 geohash is on. I work for the County surveyor, and we were doing some work in that area, and she came out with her dogs to see what we were doing. She was a nice person, but a bit of a loon :) One of her dogs was cool too: it was half wolf! Well, at least that's what she said, and it did look like a wolf, so I buy it. Anyways, long story short, with a loony-type land owner and wolf creatures lurking about, getting to the exact coordinates will prove impossible, but I will be at the intersection of N 2050 Rd and E 1250 Rd (half mile east of coordinates) around 4 o'clock Saturday so I can say I got as close as possible. If anyone else decides to meet, I'll see you there! (and if you want, leave a note here so I know who to expect!)

Next Saturday

2008-06-07 -- The coordinates for Saturday, June 7th will become available on Friday, June 6th about 9:30 AM EDT, when the Friday Dow Jones opening price is published.
