The Dallas, Texas graticule is located around latitude 32, longitude -96. This area is mostly land, but does include a number of lakes. For some purposes, it could also include visitors from areas up to President George Bush Turnpike commonly referred to as Far North Dallas. The graticule contains a mix of both urban and country locations which should lead to an interesting mix of meeting places.

Residents of Richardson, Garland, Rowlett, Rockwall, etc. might consider the McKinney graticule instead on days when the destination is in the southern half of the graticule.

2008-09-24 32 -96: In a field east of Terrell, on the north end of New Terrell City Lake.

2008-09-23 32 -96: In a field several miles south of Kaufman.

2008-09-13 32 -96: Saturday meetup! - In an empty field near the southwest corner of E Belt Line Road and MacArthur in Carrollton/Coppell. Weather permitting (Damn you, Ike!), it should be an easily accessible spot. There's also plenty of fast food places to meet up at.

2008-09-12 32 -96: In a field behind a neighborhood in the southern portion of Rockett, TX.

2008-09-11 32 -96: In a wooded area near the south end of Cedar Reservoir, in Payne Springs

2008-09-10 32 -96: Some open land several miles east of Waxahachie, possibly on some private property.

2008-09-09 32 -96: Yet another water geohash on Lake Bardwell, southwest of Ennis.

2008-09-08 32 -96: Water geohash! On Lake Ray Hubbard just a bit south of I-30. If you've got access to a boat and some spare time, don't be lazy. Go achieve something!

2008-09-07 32 -96: Near Cedar Reservoir in the southeast portion of the graticule.

2008-09-06 32 -96: Saturday meetup! -- Some land west of Quinlan. It looks like it might be private property, as there is a largish house (or something) near the geohashing point.

2008-09-05 32 -96: On some farmland south of Midlothian.

2008-09-04 32 -96: On Lake Tawakoni near Quinlan. Anyone in this area with access to a boat could easily win the water geohash achievement.
