This time, the decision came easier.. today's hash point in [[40,-2]] would be right next to a Natural Reseve, the Alto Tajo. I love Natural Reserves about as much as I love mountains. And Alto means high, so this is going to be a Natural Reserve on a Mountain.

Pre-expedition:
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15582-2/P1030796.JPG A library] in the metro station. Only in Madrid!
 +
 +
Again, I will still have to write this one up. But here are the pictures. I really enjoyed taking them - do have a look at all these flowers.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15551-2/P1030892.JPG A tower in a field] - There was a town posted, called "Torremocha del Campo", meaning ''ugly tower of the field''. I assumed that this had to be it, but I seem to have been wrong.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15557-2/P1030893.JPG I was on the Don Quijote route]. No windmills here.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15562-2/P1030894.JPG A milestone, or just a spur post?] - I started to take pictures roughly as soon as I left the highway.. there were still 30km to go on single lane, badly paved roads. It made me think these occasional stones might be milestones.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15567-2/P1030895.JPG It rained a bit]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15572-2/P1030896.JPG I walked from here on] - it's off the road to the north of the geohash, if you'd like to compare with the satellite pictures. Still a bit to go.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15577-2/P1030897.JPG A poppy]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15592-2/P1030899.JPG I'm going to need help with naming all the others]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15597-2/P1030901.JPG But they appealed to ḃoth my aesthetic and geometric senses] - It's a fractal!
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15602-2/P1030902.JPG Same flower, but earlier]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15607-2/P1030903.JPG Trumpets in blue]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15612-2/P1030904.JPG Common Mullein, probably]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15617-2/P1030907.JPG I identified this branching on my hand-drawn map]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15622-2/P1030908.JPG A very small troll] - I later saw that the path I took was indicated on a hiking track map.. so it must be hikers who did this]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15627-2/P1030910.JPG Across the sea of rose] - I left the track when Tomtom said I had reached the correct latitude.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15657-2/field_fused.jpg Suddenly, a field].
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15632-2/P1030918.JPG I followed the tracks] of a machine - so as to not trample anything. However, the ground was really dry and the plants wide apart.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15637-2/P1030919.JPG Patches of haulms were everywhere among the fields] where the machines couldn't cultivate them.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15642-2/P1030920.JPG A dry thistle] - another fractal!
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15647-2/P1030922.JPG Bear tracks?] - in a sandbed at the bottom of the valley. Could have been a dog just as well.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15652-2/P1030924.JPG Hash point reached!] - I won't complain about the batteries of Tomtom again. Once it is fully charged, it's great.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15660-2/P1030926.JPG A happy hasher]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15665-2/P1030928.JPG I marked the place with 'xkcd' for a change]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15670-2/P1030929.JPG More flowers on the way back]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15675-2/P1030930.JPG and in white]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15680-2/P1030932.JPG and in large]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15685-2/P1030934.JPG I spotted this little buddy drinking nectar] - are they supposed to do that?
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15690-2/P1030938.JPG more white and yellow]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15695-2/P1030939.JPG A beeyard]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15700-2/P1030940.JPG violet!]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15705-2/P1030941.JPG blue!] - more fractals
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15710-2/P1030943.JPG violet again]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15715-2/P1030944.JPG and another poppy]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15720-2/P1030945.JPG and a live thistle] - I created some 3d fractals in Mathematica[tm] once upon a time, but nothing as elaborate as this.
 +
 +
Post-expedition expedition:
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15725-2/P1030946.JPG The Alto Tajo] greeted me like this. This is actually the river Tajo
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15730-2/P1030950.JPG Impressive rocks] - and I know there are more people here who can enjoy nice climbing spots
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15735-2/tajo_fused.jpg down by the river] - Unfortunately, I could not find the hiking path I was looking for in either direction.
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15740-2/P1030958.JPG These buddies were huge] compared to the ones we had on our garden pond
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15745-2/P1030959.JPG A solitary picnic site]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15750-2/P1030960.JPG and one for the next migration hash]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15755-2/P1030961.JPG more rocks]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15760-2/P1030966.JPG returning to Madrid on another road]
 +
*[http://relet.net/g2/d/15765-2/P1030974.JPG Even highways can look good] provided the right weather. (I was actually trying to zoom in on the city in the background, but forgot to do exactly that)
