Location

The hash lies in a forest between Recklinghausen and Haltern near an old mine.

Participants

GeorgDerReisende

Plans

I will hitchhike to the hash. This can become a xkcd meetup. I will be there at 16:00.

Afterwards I will hitchhike to Idstein for 2014-05-18 50 8.

Expedition


		I left my home at 1015, went by tram and bus to the Wilhelmshöhe junction of the A44 and started there to hitchhike. With five cars I arrived at the place of the hash. I started with the tarred way and ended at a blocked car parking.
		So I had to walk around it, through the forest. I met the usual muddy forest ways, and to prevent them, I walked through the tans, with my whole backpack.
		But then I made it, came out of the thickets and reached the hash. My way ended on something like a meadow of some forest plants, and, for finding the correct place, I threw my backpack to the ground. After a short dance I found out, that the hash was just at the place, where my backpack lay. But I was too late for a xkcd meetup. Again.
		The grinning geohasher.
		From the hash I could see the parking area, but I didn't try to go there.
		On my way out of the forest I had again to walk under small trees, again with my backpack and at last I had to break through some bushes along the main road.
		To go for Idstein to visit 2014-05-18 50 8, I started to hitchhike just at this place. At first I got a car to the motorway junction Lavesum at the A43. There, latest, I found out, that there was a service station nearby and while walking to it, I had a view to the landscape, from which I seemed that it looks like the forest where the hash was in. At home I found out that it was another forest, but think about it.
