Contents
Minneapolis, Minnesota and St. Paul, Minnesota
The Twin Cities area is subdivided into four graticules.
- Minneapolis NW, Minnesota including Northern Suburbs of the Twin Cities, bordered on the East by I-35
- Minneapolis SW, Minnesota extending down to Mankato and absorbing most of St. Paul
- St. Paul NE, Minnesota extending into Wisconsin and including nearly all of St. Croix State Park
- St. Paul SE, Minnesota including I-94 on its North end and the majority of Rochester
Documenting New Expeditions
If you want to shoot for completeness when documenting an expedition in the Twin Cities area, make sure you add links to it in the following places:
- Under the expeditions for the day in the Recent and Upcoming Expeditions section of the Main Page
- The list of daily locations/successful meetups in the individual graticule
- The list of completed geohashes on this page
- Add it to your user page if you made it!
Be sure to add the following code at the top of the individual meetup's page:
{{meetup graticule
| map=<map lat="44" lon="-93" date="2008-06-03" />
| lat=44
| lon=-93
| date=2008-06-03
}}

Weekend Hash Attempts
Saturday, June 7, 2008
The NW graticule's spot:
- 2008-06-07: 45.501784°, -93.114371° - On a field (possible cultivated), near North Branch (about 1 hour or 50 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
- Anyone planning on being there? Quite a drive!
Sunday
Completed Geohashes
- 2008-06-03: 44.957992°, -93.128935° - On St Albans St N between Charles and Edmund Ave, near St Paul (about 1m or 1 miles by car from St Paul, MN)
- Joel went by there at 1pm and snapped a photo.
- Also reached by Erica and her cousin Lauren around 4pm.
- 2008-05-31: 45.037487°, -93.281267° - Between the west bank of the Mississippi and a water treatment plant, near Minneapolis, MN (about 5 min or 1 mile by car from Minneapolis, MN)
- Successful attempt. Joel made it to the spot at 4pm but there was no one there. Very cool that it was a spot close to the city on a Saturday, but a pretty difficult location to reach.
- 2008-05-25: 44.941774°, -93.182874° - At the intersection of Summit Avenue and Prior Ave N in St. Paul (about 14m or 6.2 miles by car from Minneapolis, MN)
- Geohash reached. Abi, Erica, Ford and Erica's friend Chris (not to be confused with the other Chris) played games in the greenway in the middle of Summit Avenue until we were chased away by the storm.
