The coordinates for Monday, May 26, 2008 are:

 0.673128104319 0.6073080067

Note: These coordinates became known on Friday, May 23 due to a Dow holiday (Memorial Day) on Monday, May 26.

• Cleveland, Ohio - In the lake. Probably not a good place to meet, unless you want to win a Water Geohash award.
• Connecticut - A PERFECT location: Rocky Hill/South Glastonbury. Take I-91 north from New Haven or south from Hartford; take Exit 23 to West. St; turn left @ Route 99/Main St.; right @ Glastonbury Ave. to the Ferry [YAY! There's a ferry, even!!!]; after crossing, you're on Ferry Ln./Route 160; continue to South Glastonbury Center and turn left on Route 17/Main St.; take 5th left onto Red Hill Dr. into a residential dead-end; turn left, proceed to cul-de-sac there; park. Official coordinates are for the backyard of the house directly ahead of you, but for the sake of being nice, I'll be at the cul-de-sac itself. The view from that spot should be amazing, and the ferry ride makes it all worthwhile. 4PM.
• Copenhagen, Denmark - A great spot in the middle of Copenhagen, right across the water from Christiania. Unfortunately, it's in someone's house.
• Glasgow, United Kingdom - A few yards off Lochlibo Road in Ayrshire, just north east of Kilwinning.
• Toronto, Canada - Right next to the runway at Pearson Airport. Unlikely to be accessible!
• London West, United Kingdom - Just a couple of minutes walk from Amersham Station, the last stop on the Metropolitan line. Just a bit of tube hopping for anyone with easy access to an Underground station and a Bank Holiday Monday to kill. Looks like it may be in a back garden however!
• Manchester, United Kingdom - A field with a nearby wooded area north east of Chorley, probably accessible, maybe farmland.
• Yeovil / Weymouth / Dorchester / Ilminster / Crewkerne, United Kingdom Just outside a place called Abbotsbury, looks a tad inaccesible due to being out in the middle of some un-public-looking fields. Anyone with inside information of Abbotsbury and the surrounding area is encouraged to post, otherwise, if there's a pub in said Abbotsbury, that'll do!
• Mansfield, Ohio Located just off a low-traffic country road outside Lexington. Good spot for a meetup.
• Newark, New Jersey - Off Route 287 in Liberty Corner, New Jersey near UAga National Golf Course. Appears to be a wooded area.
• Providence, Rhode Island - A very quick hop off 95, to Route 3 North (Coventry), left on Harkney Hill, Right on Hill Farm. The map shows a tree jutting into the stream - that's it! Come join the busting of this graticule at 1pm!
• Salinas, California - Within the city of Salinas, at the corner of Fern and Alisal streets (just N of the airport)
• St. Louis, Missouri - Just west of the St. Louis Bandits Jr. A hockey arena, off of I-40, in Chesterfield, MO.
• Sydney (West), Australia - A tree in the backyard of a house in Winmalee, near Penrith. There's a park nearby.
• Trabuco Canyon, California - Located between Portola Hills and Trabuco Canyon, off of Live Oak Canyon Road.
• Oslo, Norway - Located on Oscarsborg Festning, an island fortress. A return ticket with the ferry from Drøbak is 70 kr.
• Tucson, Arizona - Located in the middle of the normaly dry San Pedro river with dirt road(possibly requireing 4WD) access near Mammoth and San Manuel. Concidering recent storm activity, it may actualy have flowing water in it, giving one of the few chances of getting the Water Geohash award in this graticule. Apparantly there is a ghost town called Copper Creek nearby to the east of Mammoth as well [1]
