St. Louis, Missouri

The St. Louis graticule is at latitude 38, longitude -90. It includes the St. Louis metropolitan area as well as parts of Franklin, Jefferson, and St. Charles counties.

Earliest activity

The first so-called "activity" was on May 25, 2008. It was done by Drew and Mike. Nothing happened, we were just bored. For the record, this was not a full-fledged meetup. It was just something to do.
