Today's Location: [Reno, NV]

The Reno graticule is at latitude 39, longitude -119. It completely encloses Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Dayton, and Incline Village. The most extreme northern portions of Yerington are also included, as well as the northeastern third of Lake Tahoe. There are innumerable small towns, ghost towns, hiking trails, fire roads, and the occasional legal brothel to be found.

The graticule is about 90% land, albeit mountainous. Rock climbers, hikers, ATV enthusiasts, and fans of stark desert landscapes will enjoy geohashing here. On the recreational water bodies front, the graticule encloses Lahontan Reservoir, Washoe Lake, the southern half of Pyramid Lake, and the aforementioned portion of Lake Tahoe.

All the interested northern Nevada people -- bring friends, games and water.

People

  • User:Paveman - Sparks. Will try to get to Saturday meetups, if the location is reasonably accessible.

Planning Information

The official mapping tool puts the location off of Lesaka Court, an unpaved road linked to an unpaved road. The weather will not be cooperative, so I suggest the Port of Subs on Pyramid Highway and La Posada Drive as an alternative.

Follow Luzier Lane past the end of the pavement, unless there's another "Private Property: No Trespassing" sign. user:Paveman will once again try to bring coffee. Weather looks like it won't be a problem, but if private property is a problem, The Stage Shop Restaurant looks like a decent alternative.
