Mine's in...What the hell is that?  A mine?  Or just a housing development thing?  Whatever it is, it's like a square mile.

*digs around* Oh.  It's the construction site for a place called Bio-Energy.  I think.  Sweet!  But a power plant that generates energy from landfill waste is a place that I really don't think I want to go.

This is mine. I really need to buy a car if I'm to reach any hash that hits land. Which I'm planning to do soon anyway. I can use the graticules bordering to the east too, though some of those mountains are real buggers.

For the 27th it's on the middle of the northbound lane of highway 405. No excuses this time :)

EDIT: This site is cool. It puts all the relevant information in one page and even autogenerates a poster you can leave at your hashmark. I guess one advantage of a geeky hobby is that they will usually turn out a lot of neat tools and gadgets like this.

It's on the way home from work.  I couldn't not go there, unless I was in the rightmost lane.
