How should I start to describe the events of this fateful day? It's hard to remember how normal and peaceful a day started that should end with such a horrible deed. But let me try to tell you from the beginning....
  
== Plans ==
+
My day started as uneventful as usual, I had my normal classes at university and managed to (once more) convince [[User:JUB|JUB]] to join me on this geohash - which meant that I now had the means of a more convenient method of transportation: his car! Before setting out on our journey into the wilderness of New Zealand, which I had horribly mistaken to be a peaceful district, though, there was something important to take care of. Something really vital: Find some food! Due to lack of mammoths in Adlershof we looted the local Kaufland and it was at this insuspicious location that the foundations for a grim murder were set: (dramatic pause) We decided to not only buy something to eat for ourselves but also buy a carrot to make the snowman! Or wait, hey, why not make two of them? Two carrots, some ketchup, bread and cheese were duly bought and we marched back through the snow to Jubs car - not suspecting what had just begun...
I have lectures in Adlershof till 5pm, then I'm planning to go to Erkner, that will make me arrive there 18.09 presumably (or 20 min earlier, depending on the benevolence of the professor) then walk to the hash and hope to build a snowman there :) Anybody else in??? --[[User:HiroProtagonist|HiroProtagonist]] 15:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Driving through the dark forests around Müggelheim, I began to feel uncomfortable, like a warning which I unwisely ignored, a foreboding of what was become of our innocent journey... We arrived in Erkner and all seemed well, but I guess it was not so. Had we only known before, that soon... but I wanted to relate our story in due order. We drove along the icy streets of New Zealand finding Ahornallee without many difficulties and started discussing the possibilities of a speed racer (30km/h) geohash - maybe if the streets had been cleared from the snow, all would have been different in the end, but it should not be, maybe then we would have settled for this one achievement and not attempted the other... However, the weather had decided for us, no speed racer was possible and it seemed nature really pushed us towards the obvious: Right at the hashpoint there was a huge pile of snow, almost cheerfully calling out to us: "Hey, what about a little innocent snowman building? One... or two?" And I have to admit: We were deceived, we did not notice any signs of warning and neither did [[User:Hessophanes|Hessophanes]] who joined us at the snow pile and so we three started to build two cheerful snowmen, side by side. One was smaller than the other, and not quite as well proportioned, and maybe it was our mistake not to the loving, affectionate makers that this snowman would have needed at the dawn of his existence. Anyway, it happened. We didn't know, we really didn't know. I wish I could be undone, but there is nothing I can do but tell you the truth.
'''Finding the hashpoint:''' Still I'm not among the lucky possessing a GPS, so the plan is something like walking down Ahornallee up to Dämeritzstraße and then walking back three houses. Also the hash is like 3m next to a tree that will hopefully still exist.
 
  
'''What's around?''' Apart from streams with cute and/or weird names ("Flakenfließ", "Bretterscher Graben") I dunno if there is much to see in Erkner at that time of day. There is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhart_Hauptmann Gerhart Hauptmann] museum [http://www.gerhart-hauptmann.de/Museum_Erkner] but they are only open till 5pm. Hiking in that area could be nice but not if its cold and dark...
+
We had just finished building the snowmen and then turned away for a moment, just a fleeting second it seemed, and when we refocused our attention on the two snow creatures, the scene had changed dramatically:
  
'''Ribbons?''' [[Snowman Geohash|snowman]] of course, but know I'm thinking about a challenge for [[A Tale of Two Hashes achievement]] for "Neuseeland / New Zealand", you think I can? (provided I'm successful tomorrow?)

:I am considering to come. I would probably be a good bit later though, so don't wait for me. It seems that challenging a whole country is legit<s>, even though the second part of the requirement seems a bit easy. It should be a honorable mention at least.</s> That should encourage some of the New Zealanders to go hashing again.

I do not know why or even how, but the small snowman hat just wickedly killed the other behind our backs. I cannot find any words to describe the tragedy and looking at the small snowman I was shocked to see the now malicious look on his face and his victim lying beside him, having still enjoyed its snowman life only moments ago...

How should I start to describe the events of this fateful day? It's hard to remember how normal and peaceful a day started that should end with such a horrible deed. But let me try to tell you from the beginning....
