The city of Madison is the hub of the 43, -89 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the north. Madison residents should also consider geohashes in Stoughton to the south.
This graticule also has a Facebook group: Geohashing - Madison, WI
We are just getting going here, and it may take a few weeks to get this site organized, so please be patient. We will try and keep both the Facebook group and this wiki up-to-date with all the same information. If you have any cool ideas or comments, please post them to the Facebook group or the wiki discussion page, as we would like to keep the main wiki page as 'clean' as possible. Thanks.

43.091382°, -89.058595°
The weather was perfect and the scene was lovely. The spot was about 75 yards off of a little country road east of Cottage Grove. It was in a valley in a hayfield between two cornfields between two classic farmsteads. I arrived at approx 4:15 and enjoyed the bucolic scene for about 15 minutes before getting back in the car. Explored Cottage Grove on the way back. Town needs a diner.

This is about half mile south of Hwy 14 and a little more than a mile east of County Hwy H. There is no apparent road access, so if you make the trip, be prepared to walk.
