The red dot represents the hashed location for our graticule, while the blue dot corresponds to the South Lake Tahoe graticule's hashed location for voting purposes.

Location 1: Pyramid Lake

This looks like it's actually in the lake. There seems to be a nearby campsite, so we may be able to borrow a boat or I may be able to find a small raft in my garage.

This location represents a rare opportunity for Reno hashers to earn the Water Geohash achievement. Additionally, this location is on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Reservation, and a $6 day pass should be purchased upon arrival.

To vote for this location, point your browser to the official mapping utility, click on the red dot, and say "yes" or "no."

Location 2: South Lake Tahoe Graticule's Location

Our neighboring graticule to the south have been dealt a hill approximately 10 miles east of Minden. This location appears to be accessible without admission charge, however there will be significant hiking.

This option also gives us a chance to meet our neighbors, and potentially get someone started on their Endurance Geohashing achievement, among others.

To vote for this location, point your browser to the official mapping utility, click on the blue dot, and say "yes" or "no."
