The [[Oxford, Mississippi|Oxford]] graticule has a close hash (relative to Collierville) for [[2012-03-09 34 -89|Friday]], so we may attempt that this evening. From my apartment, it's a 40 minute drive south, with just a quick hop on US-78. Doesn't look like it's on private property, but I'm not sure. From google maps, it appears to be about a dozen yards into a line of trees, off of one of those big swaths they cut for the power lines and towers. Except it doesn't look like there's any towers... interesting. Who knows?! Let's find out. | The [[Oxford, Mississippi|Oxford]] graticule has a close hash (relative to Collierville) for [[2012-03-09 34 -89|Friday]], so we may attempt that this evening.

Memphis, TN, splits two graticules at latitude 35, longitude -89 and latitude 35, longitude -90.
The first includes the areas on the eastern part of the Memphis Metropolitan Area and covers a large area of undeveloped land in the north eastern section, however the South Western area of this graticule covers some of the metro area of Memphis (starting at midtown), Germantown, Bartlett, and Collierville.
The second includes all of Downtown, South Memphis, Graceland, and the airport, as well as West Memphis, Arkansas. This graticule also encompasses Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Weekend of 2010-03-10: The Oxford graticule has a close hash (relative to Collierville) for Friday, so we may attempt that this evening. From my apartment, it's a 40 minute drive south, with just a quick hop on US-78. Doesn't look like it's on private property, but I'm not sure. From google maps, it appears to be about a dozen yards into a line of trees, off of one of those big swaths they cut for the power lines and towers. Except it doesn't look like there's any towers... interesting. Who knows?! Let's find out.
Sunday's is going to be out there regardless of the graticule. But still achievable.
Saturday's hash is north of Millington again... Definitely on some farm land. A shout away from the river. Not the best candidate, but we'll see.

Pi Day 2012: The East Memphis geohash for today is the closest geohash to my apartment I think I've ever seen. Google maps shows it to be in a residential area, nearby an old folks home, very close to somebody's back yard. I can't tell if they have a fence, as there are trees in the way, but the hash point looks like it's practically on top of this hypothetical fence. So this one could be easy or complicated. Either way, I'm thinking we'll bring a frisbee and a dog... -MayorOfBoxTown 14:06, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
