Since I was going down to Onsala for my mom's 65th birthday anyway this weekend, why not try to get some virgin graticules on the way down. And what do you know, 5 of them lined up next to great roads like E4, 26, 193, 46, 47, E20 and E6. This time, going East-West was going to be easy. And three of them were virgins! Time to deflower.

Expedition

Coming from 2012-01-20 58 12 the GPS took me on the shortest route again which was tiny and dark but pretty soon I was on the 44/47 towards Trollhättan and Uddevalla. Pretty uneventful drive and I found my way to the right tiny road. As I get closer and closer I find that soon the distance is just 6m inside the car to to hash. So after I get out and into the tree that is the hash I get back in the car and try a Speed Racer. Not easy since it is hard to get up to 50 km/h on such a short piece of narrow gravel road between two curves and a hill. But I get it on the second try. And as the logmessage says, my 3rd Virgin Graticule of the day so very happy.

3rd virgin for the day. -- Carl-Johan @58.2124,11.9496 13:06, 20 January 2012 (EST)

Then just follow the E6 and I arrive at the big party at Svenska Grammofonstudion at exactly 20:00 as I should have after 700 km driven and a MONSTER Hash!
