Expedition

To late I noticed that yesterday there was a point around Jena, so I missed that one. But today I had another chance. And I missed again. Thereby I found a new law of nature and it’s very simple: Hashpoints between May 31 and June 10 do not work. Now it’s the third year in a row I was exploring this theory and the result is always the same. And although a sample with 3 elements should be enough as proof, I will continue researching next year.

But back to the present. I started early in the morning and drove the same way as on April 12, but didn’t leave the Ilm cycle way in Buchfahrt. Instead I continued until I reached Hetschburg. From here it were only some hundred meters on a path into the forest where the point was located. In google earth it looked like a nice meadow, that should be no problem. But the meadow was surrounded by a fence and seamed to be the home area of some horses. When I first saw this quandary, I thought whether I should overcome the fence, since it looked like the horses were actually in a part of the area that was separated from the target area by a small dried out river. Just when I wanted to explore the location the horses got very nervous and started neighing. That was the time were I decided to put this point to the not-reached list.

To complete the loss list, I decided to continue to Bad Berka, where I wanted to try a Wherigo on a new toy I got some days ago. But I already started with a bad feeling, since I didn’t like the description at all. And my fears became true. The first task was to run over a 1,5 meters wide bridge, that was full of grandmas at this time. Not with me. I immediately canceled this action too and declared this day to be a looser day. But however, the weather was fine, the landscape too, so at the end it was not that bad at all.

Remains of last Thursday. So be careful where you go.
