Location
The hash lies on the southern edge of a field near Wolfterode. I had been on the same field on 2015-06-23 51 9, but had no luck. The hash of 2015-06-23 51 9 lay 17 meters to the left in the field from the right way, today's hash lies two meters left of the left edge. |
Participants
Plans
Hitchhiking and walking. I want to be there at hash o'clock.
Expedition
I started at home at one o'clock and started to hitchhike at 13:30. After some minutes a Corvette stopped. Because my destination was Vockerode, the driver took the road across the Hoher Meißner mountains. On the top, the mountains didn't look special. | ||
But on the other side of the mountains, there was a viewing point. The driver stopped and I had a good view of the area of research with the hash. Wolfterode lies at the left, Vockerode is right down and Abterode is above of it. Additionally I had a detailed view to the hash area: Wolfterode at the left and the hash at the right. | ||
That was the car. | ||
I left Vockerode on the wrong side, and as I noticed this, I took the next fieldway and found some not mapped grassy fieldways, leading my direct to the hash. There was a valley between me and the hash, but I found a bridge. | ||
At the height of the hash I left the way and walked along the row of trees to the hash. I found it without a dance. And I looked around. | ||
to the north, | to the west, | to the south, |
to the east | and to the geohasher. | |
But I arrived at the hash one hour too early. So I had to wait for hash o'clock and for other geohashers to come. I sat under one of these wonderful apple trees and waited. The time came, but the geohashers didn't. | ||
I had a view to the countryside and to the plants. And to some animals, but I couldn't take photos of them. | ||
After hash o'clock I left the place. At first I had a view from above, similar like at 2015-06-23 51 9, and then I looked for a way home. The first thing, what I saw, was this not-so-veloci-but-raptor, which tried to kill animals, plants and geohashers. On the way I tried to walk outside of sight, but the wind came from the wrong side and sometimes I felt something chemical in the air. But at least I could start to hitchhike at Abterode at 18:00 and with five cars I arrived home at 20:30. |
