The Lincoln, Nebraska graticule is located near latitude 40, longitude -96. It is primarily land, and includes most of the Lincoln metropolitan area, as well as Beatrice, Crete, Syracuse, and Waverly. It also includes a large amount of rural farmland.

Notable Dates

Template:Virgin graticule 2008-05-22: First visit to target coordinates by Spike and crew.
2008-05-24: 40.126648°, -96.547534° A forested area east of Wymore. As the coordinates were so far south of Lincoln, the team embarking from Lincoln successfully reached the West Omaha coordinates instead, a field in the middle of nowhere.

2008-05-31: 40.037487°, -96.281267° A field northeast of Summerfield, KS, close to the southern Nebraska border. Again the coordinates are very far south of Lincoln, so the West Omaha coordinates seem like a more viable option.

(Also place any dates with significant visits here)

Daily Locations

2008-05-21: 40.179467°, -96.861537° A rural field southwest of Beatrice.

2008-05-22: 40.972874°, -96.238697° A field just south of the Platte River, near South Bend.

2008-05-23: 40.400246°, -96.722772° A field north of Pickrell.

2008-05-24: 40.126648°, -96.547534° A forested area east of Wymore.

2008-05-31: 40.037487°, -96.281267° A field northeast of Summerfield, KS, very close to the border of Nebraska and Kansas.
(Henceforth only Saturday locations will be placed in this section.)
