* [[2008-05-24 42 - 76|Ithaca, New York, USA]] - Three of us got as close as we could by car, didn't have a handheld GPS receiver.  Arrived slightly after 4:00 pm EST, saw no one else. We saw evidence of someone perhaps arriving (and pulling over where we pulled over) not long before us, and apparently someone showed up after us! Ithaca people need more patience, I guess, as we left at about 4:15 feeling strange that we were sitting on the side of a highway.
