Today's Location: [Santa Barbara]

Our graticule contains a lot of water, and a lot of very remote area in the Los Padres National Forest. But eventually, we should get lucky, and land on the beach, so let's keep looking!

Daily Updates

2008-06-18: Wednesday's location is in a private home, but it is just two blocks from the Oxnard Wal-Mart! That might be an interesting location for some XCKD-style irony...


Lots of nearby food too---mostly chain restaurants---including Chili's, Panda Express, and Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill.

As it turns out, I'm in SLO all week though. User:Pconrad

  • User:contraption checks once in a while and might just show up some time, probably on a weekend.
  • User:Qwertypi checking when I remember and waiting for a good SB/Goleta selection.
  • User:Capso Waiting to meet other folk living in, or willing to come around to, Santa Barbara or Goleta. Checking... err... "regularly". Ahem, also, I'm 'van Orman' in the Facebook group -- this is the only reason I signed up, so someone better be there when a reachable spot is decided.
  • User:kitk spreading the GeoHash community - one believer at a time...reservoir area today?

Other comments that have been posted

- I've got myself and another watching it. If it's close enough, we might be able to make the trip. (2008-06-09 was on Santa Cruz Island, anyone attempt?)

- My husband and I live in the area as well. Today's (6-11-08) isn't too bad but jobs prevent wandering around outside all day. Guess we will have to see what Saturday brings! --erife
