DODOs expedition

Ladies big daughter is moving to Halle(Saale) this weekend and so the lady and I had to drive there (and bring her a lot of things). The lady isn't in geohashing but this opportunity was just to close and to easy to reach. And so we left the highway in Frankfurt-Niederrad, drove 3 KM along the Main, turn left, parked the car, walked 60 m took some pictures, walked back and continued our journey.All in all it didn't take more than 20 minutes. I knew that Georg couldn't be there that early, so I did not even try to make plans, especially as I had no idea when we would arrive there (it has been at 11 o'clock). At least I left a mark, so Georg would know that someone has been there.
