===DODOs story===
 +
I couldn't leave as soon as I had planned as I had to pick up little girl, which got here drivers license the day before yesterday and wanted to practice urgently. So I left home at 12:30 what was still far to early to meet DLichti and much to late to meet Snoopy on the other hand. It seems that I'm witched to earn 100 avoid each other-Achievements. I still choose to go there by bike.
 +
 +
The ride was rather uneventful. I started with a little detour so I could go for a tron achievement.It was colder than I had expected, with a fresh wind from the north but after a while I got warm and as I was riding southwards the wind came from the rear and I was much faster than expected. Well, at least until I got near Schloss Stutensee, where I saw a sign leading to a war memorial graveyard. This was a dilemma. I really wanted to see the memorial but I had no idea how far this would lead me and so had to take my bike with me, what would definitely destroy my tron. Well, I'm a cultural guy (and I didn't want to be responsible for you all not seeing any pictures of it).
 +
 +
So I first took a picture of castle Stutensee (which today houses an institution to help children) and then I found what I was looking for next to a paddock: a little graveyard with 15 graves. The castle was used as a military hospital at the end of WWII and these 15 men all died there in March 1945.
 +
 +
From there it was only some 100 m to the hash. Once again I had to enter a ploughed field. On my first attempt I had to walk 200 m into it but there was a path leading along the side of the field and so I could bring the muddy part down to 70m. As I could easily be seen from the close farmhouse I stayed as short as possible, just a proof and some further pictures, but not even a mark for DLichti (maybe he'll find my footsteps, but I didn't see any of snoopys footsteps either).
 +
 +
Back to my bike I had an apple and then rided on. Soon I reached Leopolfshafen, where I got some ice cream next to a funny house. Just a little bit further I reached a ferry, where I had to wait for a quarter of an hour again. I feared the way back, as the wind was still coming from the north, but the way lead me through some forest and so the wind couldn't stop me (except for the last 15 KM from Germersheim to Speyer).
 +
 +
=== DLichti's story ===
 +
I left at around 13:45 to meet my friend in Karlsruhe where we took the line S2 to Blankenloch. At around 15:15, we arrived at Blankenloch Nord. From there, it was a 2.5 km walk to the HP. On our way, we came by a model airfield. Sice we didn't have any RC airplane to attempt a [[Geohash_by_proxy_achievement|proxy geohash achievement]] and there was nobody else we could have talked into giving us one, we continued by foot.
 +
 +
At around 15:50, we ventured westwards onto said field where we believed the HP to be located on. We were a little earlier than anticipated, but unfortnately still too late to meet DODO. Shortly before arriving at the HP, we discovered what we assumed to be an earlier geohasher's (probably DODO's?) footprints and followed them to the HP. We tried to leave a reference to [http://www.xkcd.com/426/ xkcd 426] but messed up the digits of the number. (German has a weird number system.) My friend brought some chococlate which we ate before leaving at around 16:10.
 +
 +
Like our two collegues, we didn't go home without having a look at the Stutensee residence. While exploring the environment, we also came by the little war cemetary and a wooden owl guarding the residence.
 +
 +
Our way to the next train stop took us through a small forest and along the railway tracks. We reached the Friedrichstal train stop at around 17:20 where we missed a train back to Karlsruhe by only a minute. But the next train was only 20 minutes later, so it wasn't too bad.
 +
 +
I stayed at my friend's place for supper and then took the last train home. At 22:15, I was home again.

Expedition

Snoopys story

DODOs story

I couldn't leave as soon as I had planned as I had to pick up little girl, which got here drivers license the day before yesterday and wanted to practice urgently. So I left home at 12:30 what was still far to early to meet DLichti and much to late to meet Snoopy on the other hand. It seems that I'm witched to earn 100 avoid each other-Achievements. I still choose to go there by bike.

The ride was rather uneventful. I started with a little detour so I could go for a tron achievement.It was colder than I had expected, with a fresh wind from the north but after a while I got warm and as I was riding southwards the wind came from the rear and I was much faster than expected. Well, at least until I got near Schloss Stutensee, where I saw a sign leading to a war memorial graveyard. This was a dilemma. I really wanted to see the memorial but I had no idea how far this would lead me and so had to take my bike with me, what would definitely destroy my tron. Well, I'm a cultural guy (and I didn't want to be responsible for you all not seeing any pictures of it).

So I first took a picture of castle Stutensee (which today houses an institution to help children) and then I found what I was looking for next to a paddock: a little graveyard with 15 graves. The castle was used as a military hospital at the end of WWII and these 15 men all died there in March 1945.

From there it was only some 100 m to the hash. Once again I had to enter a ploughed field. On my first attempt I had to walk 200 m into it but there was a path leading along the side of the field and so I could bring the muddy part down to 70m. As I could easily be seen from the close farmhouse I stayed as short as possible, just a proof and some further pictures, but not even a mark for DLichti (maybe he'll find my footsteps, but I didn't see any of snoopys footsteps either).

Back to my bike I had an apple and then rided on. Soon I reached Leopolfshafen, where I got some ice cream next to a funny house. Just a little bit further I reached a ferry, where I had to wait for a quarter of an hour again. I feared the way back, as the wind was still coming from the north, but the way lead me through some forest and so the wind couldn't stop me (except for the last 15 KM from Germersheim to Speyer).

DLichti's story

I left at around 13:45 to meet my friend in Karlsruhe where we took the line S2 to Blankenloch. At around 15:15, we arrived at Blankenloch Nord. From there, it was a 2.5 km walk to the HP. On our way, we came by a model airfield. Sice we didn't have any RC airplane to attempt a proxy geohash achievement and there was nobody else we could have talked into giving us one, we continued by foot.

At around 15:50, we ventured westwards onto said field where we believed the HP to be located on. We were a little earlier than anticipated, but unfortnately still too late to meet DODO. Shortly before arriving at the HP, we discovered what we assumed to be an earlier geohasher's (probably DODO's?) footprints and followed them to the HP. We tried to leave a reference to xkcd 426 but messed up the digits of the number. (German has a weird number system.) My friend brought some chococlate which we ate before leaving at around 16:10.

Like our two collegues, we didn't go home without having a look at the Stutensee residence. While exploring the environment, we also came by the little war cemetary and a wooden owl guarding the residence.

Our way to the next train stop took us through a small forest and along the railway tracks. We reached the Friedrichstal train stop at around 17:20 where we missed a train back to Karlsruhe by only a minute. But the next train was only 20 minutes later, so it wasn't too bad.

I stayed at my friend's place for supper and then took the last train home. At 22:15, I was home again.
