-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!)
-[[User:Paavopetie|Paavopetie]] will leave by bike from Riverfront Trailhead (just north of the Kansas River bridge) at approximately 3:40 pm to meet up at the N 2050 and E1250 intersection at 4:00.
