Just check out this friggin' graticule, man.

Today's Location: Boston, MA

All visited Locations: Overview in Google Maps (may be slow at first request)

The Boston graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -71. It includes most of Boston (minus a few harbor points) and all the suburbs to the west. It is almost entirely land, so most points are reachable (albeit often suburban). It is one of 11 known graticules to span 4 US states, though it just barely contains parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Activities

Randall plans to play chess at Boston coordinates whenever possible (and once he gets a portable TV, MarioKart)

Geordi will bring Go when he comes.

Sonya y Jason will bring Bohnanza.

Jeff will try very hard to bring Apples to Apples

John will also bring chess (or Risk), unless he's coming straight from class, in which case he will bring his laptop and smiling disposition.

rmo25 will continue bringing a stunt-ready video camera for aerial reconnaissance.
