I heard about this well over a year ago but I was always out of town so I said, yeah, whatever. But I'm home now! So let's get some people together and do this!!!
(It generates different coordinates everyday based on your location etc. and sometimes the spot it generates is inaccessible, and other times it is good to go.) "Every day, the algorithm generates a new set of coordinates for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a graticule) in the world. The coordinates can be anywhere -- in the forest, in a city, on a mountain, or even in the middle of a lake! Everyone in a given region gets the same set of coordinates relative to their graticule. As such, these coordinates can be used as destinations for adventures, à la Geocaching, or for local meetups."

This sounds interesting. Should we try it on the day of the event? Say in the morning? How will we know where to meet? Would someone generate the coordinates and post it as a note on the Event page as a bonus? Say we meet Sunday at 10 am...Not sure how far away the site would be...

I think we should ty it, but not during the event. Or, see where one might take us the day of the bbq, but go after the bbq. Or just pick another weekend. I do think we should try it once (successfully) though.

After the bbq would be a good idea. Then those interested could all go together.
