Expedition

Tank barricades from the Second World War.

This is the second hashpoint of the day. The story starts here.

Our journey continued towards west, where we shortly before Eno passed an old tank barricade from the Second World War, a part of the Salpa line. Our next goal was in the Joensuu graticule, the hashpoint was located in Polvijärvi. This increased our trip distance by 160 km. The hashpoint was about 100 meters from the road, on a dry swamp that was filled with blueberries, yummy! Pastori picked blueberries with his berry-picking device and The Wife ate blue-mouthed several mouthfuls. On the way back we ate our picnic lunch by the side of a bridge that was built in 1933. Then straight back to home to heat up the sauna by the river.

The day's summary was 2 hashpoints, 2 pea soups, 2 pancakes, 22 rain showers, 2 mushrooms and 2, wait, that was 1, liter of blueberries and 500 km. In the dusk 2 contended geohashers were heaving a deep sigh.
