Location

Outside Idstein.

Participants

Plans

Totally around the corner. Can't not do it. Let us know if you're interested and we'll find a time for a meetup.

GeorgDerReisende

Coming from 2014-05-17 51 7 I will spend the night to Sunday in the picnic shelter east of Idstein, the place is called Drei Eichen or Alter Badeweiher. Because it's Sunday I will not start for geohashing before 10:00. I will be at the hash at about 11:00, from there it's a walk of 3.1 kilometers.

Excellent! We just noticed that we have an appointment at 13:00 so we can only do it before lunch as well. Perfect timing. Just to clarify, you will be at the hash at 11:00 or you'll start walking the 3.1km at 11:00? I'll also PM you my mobile number just in case (if it's enabled). - Mampfred (talk) 02:16, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

I want to start at the shelter at 10:00 and I want to reach the hash at 11:00. --GeorgDerReisende (talk) 02:31, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Perfect see you there. I'll see if I can activate M and QuarterCacher as well. - Mampfred (talk) 02:49, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

Expedition

GeorgDerReisende


	Coming from the successful 2014-05-17 51 7 I hitchhiked from Haltern to Idstein with the help of five cars. At the service station Remscheid I had an uncommon short waiting time to get a car for the A3, but at the service station Siegburg I had to wait longer. The motorways were empty, because there was an important fußball game at the TV. I arrived at the Idstein at 0:15 and walked through the village to that place I had chosen for the night. But instead of a shelter for hikers it was a closed barbecue hut. So I slept outside of it. The night was a bit cold.
	In the morning I started to walk to the hash at 10:00. I passed under these trees looking very dangerous.
	At 10:37 I found the hash. After some dancing my Garmin decided, that the hash lied on the way. Then I remembered, that I had an appointment and sat down and waited for them.
	And they arrived some minutes later. I came to know M and QuarterCacher.
	The group of all today's geohashers: M, EmmJay, QuarterCacher, LadyBB, Mampfred and GeorgDerReisende.
	EmmJay liked to play games again, today blowing bubbles.
	I wrote a mark onto a tree.
	View to Idstein from outside the forest.
	Usually my story ends here. But I have an addendum. I wanted to hitchhike from Idstein to the service station Wetterau along the national road B 275. And I started for it. After two short lifts I ended at the village Niederems. There I waited for two hours, but only tourists and motorcycles passed by. Then I got a lift, but mistakenly it went to Oberems, which was not my direction. At this moment, I didn't want to hitchhike or hike further and I decided to take a bus to the main village, to start to hitchhike there again. From that place I got a lift to the service station Rebstock near Frankfurt am Main and from there a lift to the service station Wetterau. Standing there at the exit and waiting for a car to Kassel a car stopped and the driver told me that he had taken me on a former expedition of geohashing! But today he didn't go to Kassel and I took another car.
