A friend of mine sent me a link to the Degree Confluence Project. From the site:
The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures, along with a narrative describing the adventures it took to get there are then posted on this web site. This creates an organized sampling of the world.
Looks like the confluence at 36ƒN 115ƒW(already photographed several times) is just down the street from work. 37ƒN 116ƒW is a bit farther away, sitting up in Nye County outside Mercury "The Gateway to Yucca Mtn", Nevada(and apparently on the edge of a blast crater), but it's the last unphotographed confluence in the state. The primary issue would be navigating our way about the Test Site, and whether we'd be able to get within camera distance without being shot at. Anyone up for a day trip?
Another goal is to document the changes at these locations over time. Although we initially want to visit as many different locations as possible, don't hesitate to revisit a confluence if you're in the area.
Comments
This could be a great fox reality show. Contestants have 6 months to visit as many confluences as they can. The team that gets to the most wins. The winner could get a million dollars. Or a punch in the stomach from me. Their choice.
