Expedition

DODO

I had to be back home at 5 pm and so I had to catch the train at 16:08 in Karlsruhe. I started riding at 1 pm and had a very pleasant ride. The weather was sunny and warm with a slight wind mostly coming from the front. At 3 pm I reached the hash forest and some minutes later I parked the bull on a forest path and started searching for the exact point. I got a shot under 2m but I don't know, how reliable this value is in the thick forest. Took some pictures and left again, unfortunately an hour early. Would have been fun to meet the others. Then I continued my ride through the Kraichgau down to Karlsruhe, and reached the station at 15:45. Plenty of time to catch the train.

  a lot of woodruff grew at the point (but you shouldn't collect, when it's already in flower)

Achievements

DODO earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2016-05-21.

I'm really ashamed but I didn't realize that it's geohashing day until I saw the big number of expeditions today. So there's another shiny ribbon (and I celebrate at home with some asparagus and a good bottle of wine).

DODO earned the 2016 Geohashing Day achievement by celebrating in the (49, 8) graticule on May 21st 2016.
