'''The first day the [[30W Time Zone Rule]] is in effect.'''  These coordinates became available east of -30° on Friday 23 May by combination of a [[Dow holiday]] (Memorial Day) on Monday 26 May and the new [[30W Time Zone Rule]], which posits that Tuesday's open would come too late in the day for eastern longitudes.
  
The coordinates for '''Tuesday, May 27, 2008''' are:

+
* [[2008-05-27 40 -82|2008-05-27 Mansfield, Ohio]]
* [[Austin, Texas]] - Located on the south side of US 290 near Paige and highway 21. Should be an easy geohash, if you can make the drive.

<noinclude>{{expedition summaries|2008-05-27}}</noinclude>
* [[Boston, Massachusetts]] - On the banks of a brook in the Blue Hills Reservation south of Milton, MA, just off I-93 exit 3.
 
* [[Brussels, Belgium]] - The coordinates for Brussels and environs are smack in the middle between the cities of Roly, Villers-en-Fagne, Matagne-la-Grande and Fagnolle. It seems perfectly reachable, but I'm not that familiar with the neighbourhood.
 
* [[Detroit, Michigan]] - Appears to be a boat ramp or a pier just off Front Road, Windsor, Ontario; perfect chance for Detroit residents to pick up an international geohash!
 
* [[El Paso, Texas]] - Again, in Mexico. Still very dangerous to cross the border. Probably best to use the [[Las Cruces, NM]] coordinates, which are off of Highway 54, near Orogrande, and very accessible.
 
* [[Las Cruces, New Mexico]] - Located off a 4x4 trail near Highway 54, between Orogrande and El Paso. Possibly on farm or government land, but from the satellite, it looks empty as can be.
 
* [[London, United Kingdom]] - Very close to Saturday's point - in a field between the villages of Dunsfold and Loxhill.
 
* [[Munich, Germany]] - The coordinates for Munich are in a particularly nice neighborhood. The Exact location seems to be in the backyard of a residential city building, so it may not be appropriate, but right in front of the house is an awesome little park. There is a small chance that you actually can access the backyard as there are cars on the google earth shot ([[user:bock|bock]] will give it a try).  There is a very good place to eat not far from the location: The Cafe Hüller is just two blocks north on the corner of Bereiteranger.
 
* [[New York, New York]] - Smack dab in the middle of the ocean. A good 50 or 60 miles out to sea at least.
 
* [[Raleigh, North Carolina]] - off of Harrels Hill Rd near Mt. Olive, looks to be on private property
 
* [[St. Louis, Missouri]] - Right off of Highway MM west of Red Bud, IL.
 
* [[Vancouver, BC, Canada]] - In the city, in a parking lot on the SE corner of Main St. and SE Marine Drive.
