Location

Crateria.

North of Wr. Neustadt in the middle of an old gravel pit. Looked like an impact crater to us ;)

Participants

Crankl
B2c

Plans

This was another spontaneous expedition. After a long day at work, Crankl and B2c decided to take on their favorite adventure generator and head out of the hot, sticky city. Micsnare was still indisposed, so it was just the two of them this time around.

Expedition

Out of a hunch they checked today's hashpoint and where intrigued by its look and the complete absence of any meaningful description on google maps. They quickly packed up their hashquipment and met at the hashcave around 6:30pm. As holiday season was in full effect and traffic was light, they were able to leave the city quickly via the A2 and reached the settlement 'Maria Theresia' north of Wiener Neustadt after about half an hour later. After overlooking several abandoned gravel pits they parked the car near the northernmost pit and started progressing towards the hashpoint. Although some signs prohibited access because of 'construction work' the hashers took the liberty of entering the completely empty and abandoned pit, do the dance, take some pictures, be liable for their children's actions and finally leave this forsaken place. Chalked up another one!

It looks intriguing from atop.
The federal road B17 leading to the hashpoint.
Crankl surveying the hashpoint.
Better not go there.
Somewhen someone might have wanted to build something here. Didn't happen.
Whole mountains must have been turned to gravel here. (Bergpolizei == Mountain Police ;)
View to a hash.
This one's for Micsnare: Closing in.
Why does this remind me of XKCD-505?
Crankl finished the dance. On point.
Stupid grin (tm). Blinded by the lights.
Proof. No more proof this time :p
