The weather forecast had said "maybe rain" but as hash o'clock came closer the forecast changed to "... but probably only after 16:30". Since the spot was about half an hour by bike from home, I decided to visit the spot. At 15:30 I started, cycling through the city center and along one of the main roads to Löbtau. I arrived near the spot 5 minutes before meetup time. According to the GPS, the spot was not on the sidewalk but directly between two houses. It took a bit of walking to and fro until I finally reached the correct coordinates next to the trash cans in the driveway of one of the houses, a place where I was allowed to be because you have to use the driveway to get to the front door of the house. I didn't linger there though.
I waited for a few minutes but no other geohashers arrived. While I was waiting, a barkeeper was setting up a mobile counter out of the back of a car in front of the cocktail bar next door; then he set up a sign which said "cocktail taxi, cocktails to go". Intrigued, I walked over and talked to him a bit. He was the owner of the cocktail bar but mostly did cocktail catering usually. Due to the corona virus pandemic he was trying to get by with the "to go" cocktail sale. Even though he would be allowed to open his bar again, because of the mandated distance between the customers it would only be for up to 14 people and paying the necessary staff would make running the bar a losing bargain. I'm so glad that I work in an essential profession and don't have to fear such problems. I ordered one of the "experimental" cocktails which turned out to contain chocolate liquor (but a clear one, I have no idea how that it produced) and tasted great. After drinking it and chatting more I cycled back home.
In total, I cycled 11.5 km.
