[PPRAANet] What Grid am I?

Kate,
I agree with Troy's assessment that you are in "DM78", but I had to
look twice. Basically, all of Colorado Springs and Pueblo are in DM78,
but beautiful downtown Peyton is in the next grid north, which is DM79.
However, it looks like your address is well south of Peyton, roughly on
the same latitude line as Woodmen Road and Falcon, which clearly places
you in DM78. The line that separates DM78 and DM79 runs east-west
through the middle of the Air Force Academy, pretty close to Shoup
Road.

My web site has some more information on grid squares, including a map
of Colorado with the grids marked on it.
