[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]
The Grand Rapids graticule is at latitude 42, longitude -85. It includes much of the Greater Grand Rapids area along with the cities of Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. Since the area is mostly farm land, the majority of meetup coordinates will likely be on private property, and meeting at the nearest public road intersection may be advisable.
Local Geohashers
Dawz: I'm actually from the Muskegon graticule, but more often than not it's far too wet for my tastes. My Saturdays are currently open.
Hakukoru: I'm from Grand Haven, so I may attempt to visit the coordinates for the Grand Rapids area as well, as long as they arent too far south-east. Especially with the current gas prices. Unfortunately I already have plans for this coming Saturday (May 24, 2008), but will check the coordinates for next Saturday and see how it goes.
smq: Live in SE Grand Rapids, work in Lansing. I expect to be free this coming Saturday (21 June, 2008).
Thothman: I recently decided to give Geohashing a shot. At least I'll be paying attention, but I've got my next few saturdays booked pretty solidly. Currently reside in the northmost part of Kalamazoo (Almost into Parchment).
here7ic: I'm from the Muskegon graticule. My Saturday's are open until notice. I'd love to meet up with some fellow Geohashers, provide gas prices and distances allow.
Yvh11a: I currently live in Battle Creek, but all my friends live in Kalamazoo, so I'm familiar with both areas. My Saturdays are usually busy but I'll try to make it to at least a couple meetups (or as close as I can estimate without actually owning a GPS)
Xamnam: I am of limited transportation at this current moment, but if there are any near Cascade/Forest Hills, or even Grand Rapids, I can probably make them.
