It was a nice day: I placed two new geocaches, reached a hashpoint and found six geocaches in Goddelau and Erfelden.
I took about 4 hours off, drove the B9 from Ludwigshafen to  Wörth, crossed the D/F border at Lauterbourg and parked the car at the D3 about 0.5 km NE to  the hashpoint. Then I put on boots, got the bicycle out of the car and drove on wet forest roads near the hashpoint. I reached it in a swampy area of the huge forest "[[wikipedia:Bienwald|Bienwald]]".
 
 
 
Very good, that I wore my rain boots, because I had to "dance" about 10 to 15 minutes under clouds and trees and between blackberry tendrills in the swamp.
 
After this I marked the hashpoint with a little white piece of paper, took some photos and drove back to the car.
 
 
 
On my way back to the German border I visited the [[wikipedia:Degree_Confluence_Project|degree confluence]] N 49° 00,000' E 8° 00,000' and the "Mirrorpoint"  N 49° 00,080' E 08° 00,094' (Safari Cache: [http://opencaching.de/OC01B0 OC01B0]) and I found 6 geocaches (geocaching.com).
