Thepiguy and srs0 left "work" at 14:45 to meet Danatar outside of the MicroStructure Laboratory (MSL). They then discussed what they were expecting to arrive, and concluded that both of them only knew that Danatar drove a "blue car" (which are plentiful, although blue cars that pull up to you and stop are not). Around 15:05, Danatar showed up, and they promptly climbed in and went and get some gas. At 15:14 (3:14, an interesting coincidence considering thepiguy was in the back seat), they turned onto the autobahn.

From there it was a simple and uneventful trip along the autobahn until they were a few hundred meters from the hashpoint. There, they turned onto a small road, probably for farmer's use, and got out. Time was of the essence, so they quickly ran to the hashpoint (less than a hundred meters along the edge of the harvested field), took some photos, and ran back to the car. After a few more minutes spent checking the location for Saturday's geohash, since it was now past 15:30, they continued on their way towards 50 11.
