This graticule is located at 39,-124, and is almost entirely covered by the Pacific Ocean except for a small portion of the King Range Wilderness Area, which takes up less than 0.1% of its area. Even if a geohash were to fall on land, it would be brutal to attempt, as the area's cliffs feature steep elevation grades of up to 40 degrees and the nearest road is over a ridge nearly 700 m (2300 ft) tall. Your best bet might be to wait until a geohash lands on the (very thin) beach, then walk 5 km (3 mi) south along the coast from Shelter Cove, California (which is not within the graticule perimeter).
The last geohash to fall on land in this graticule was on 20 August 2008, and five other retrohashes have fallen on land since 1950.[1] If you really want to play the odds, you can look at Today's location for this graticule.
