Expedition

To late I noticed that yesterday there was a point around Jena, so I missed that one. But today I had another chance. And I missed again. Thereby I found a new law of nature and it’s very simple: Hashpoints between May 31 and June 10 do not work. Now it’s the third year in a row I was exploring this theory and the result is always the same. And although a sample with 3 elements should be enough as proof, I will continue researching next year.

But back to the present. I started early in the morning and drove the same way as on April 12, but didn’t leave the Ilm cycle way in Buchfahrt. Instead I continued until I reached Hetschburg. From here it were only some hundred meters on a path into the forest where the point was located. In google earth it looked like a nice meadow, that should be no problem. But the meadow was surrounded by a fence and seamed to be the home area of some horses. When I first saw this quandary, I thought whether I should overcome the fence, since it looked like the horses were actually in a part of the area that was separated from the target area by a small dried out river. Just when I wanted to explore the location the horses got very nervous and started neighing. That was the time were I decided to put this point to the not-reached list.

To complete the loss list, I decided to continue to Bad Berka, where I wanted to try a Wherigo on a new toy I got some days ago. But I already started with a bad feeling, since I didn’t like the description at all. And my fears became true. The first task was to run over a 1,5 meters wide bridge, that was full of grandmas at this time. Not with me. I immediately canceled this action too and declared this day to be a looser day. But however, the weather was fine, the landscape too, so at the end it was not that bad at all.
