[UPDATE] Additional Coords on recipe3.html Here's a quickie new thread for discussing the extra coordinates (to be organized later).
edited subject to make sure everyone knows the recipe3 ones are still being discussed here -- AD
Also promoted to sticky since we keep using the page for more axons, and there was a change today. Will unsticky if/when we stop using recipe3 to communicate.
No more axons on Recipe3, not unless those 2 error ones are replaced. This forum has too many sticky threads, so i am demoting mine now.

Just go to MapQuest. You can map by GPS coords there, man.

Oh, yeah, I can just see the Secret Service and the President playing along now.
I have a feeling that's going to be a hard axon to get to.

You can enter the coords right thar. Pretty nice thing they got, just I can't seem to find the link anywhere, either. I have no idea how I even got the link to this in the first place! XP

Took the words right out of my mouth. I can just picture some poor sap milling around the payphones with a GPS unit and a laptop getting tackled by a bunch of security guards.

Well, I'm headed there at 3:00, so I'll be that poor sap who gets tackled. Hopefully I'll be able to get this one. Kinda worried about being the first, though.
