Participants

Plans

  1. Drive to Jügesheim (Rodgau) in the noon
  2. Park our car nearby and go on a walk to visit the hashpoint (estimated hashpoint arrival at 12:50–13:10)
  3. Have lunch at Da Vinci Ristorante Gelateria
  4. Drive back home

Expedition

Reaching the coordinates and going for a walk

Upon arriving at Jügesheim, we entered the residential area from the west and quickly found a roadside parking space for our car. From there, we only had to walk a few meters to reach the coordinates.

After that, we went for a walk in the west half of Jügesheim. Before arriving back at the car, we took a quick look at the evangelical Emmaus-Gemeinde Jügesheim (“Emmaus Congregation of Jügesheim”).

Having lunch at the restaurant

As planned, my parents and I drove to Da Vinci Ristorante Gelateria. Upon arriving there, my mother was immediately excited as the restaurant looked really classy, since I tend to choose quality eateries for geohashing expeditions. When the waiter brought the menu [it’s bilingual, both German and English], I showed the funny part about deliberately incorporated print errors [correct translation would be misprints or typos] to my parents, causing delightful laughter.

The restaurant was so impressive to my mother that she asked me to compile this and other lovely eateries from our previous expeditions into a list, for visiting them in the context of future festivities.

After lunch

With our bellies being full, we went for another walk in the vicinity of the restaurant, visiting the Wasserturm (water tower) and the Waldfriedhof (forest cemetery) of Jügesheim on our way.

After that, I got myself an ice-cream cone with two tasty scoops of ice cream (cookies and dark chocolate, respectively) and ate it on our way back home.

Final verdict

Nice and easy, after a long geohashing pause!

From now on, expeditions will happen more sporadically as there are a lot of other interesting subject areas in my life that I want to invest time in, such as work (computer programming), music, and reading TV Tropes.

Tracklog: Two walks

  • This tracklog is made of two segments (ignore the straight connection line between them):
    1. The southwest (bottom-left) loop shows our before-lunch walk to reach the coordinates.
    2. The northeast (top-right) loop shows our after-lunch walk.
  • Direction: anti-clockwise for both loops
  • GPS accuracy: good
  • Markers show all locations where I took photos (including some photos taken separate from the tracklog) – one of them is taken for OpenStreetMap surveying and not uploaded here.
