Plans

Drive by on my way to the office.

Expedition

I had to go to work by car today and so the plan was to drive as close to the hash as possible, walk the rest of the way and continue my way to the office. There was a big surprise when I woke up in the morning: it was heavily snowing outside (so I would have driven by car anyway).

The hash was close to the Waldsiedlung "Am Waldend" (forest settlement "At the end of the forest"). I left the car at the end of the forest and started walking. The world had changed into a winter wonderland and I enjoyed the walk very much. I had the first view to the hash after ten minutes. Perception wasn't too good in the forest with the dense snow, so I had to do some dancing, but in the end I got two acceptable proofs. I returned to my car and continued the drive to the office.

All in all it was a 49 KM drive and 2 KM of walking. As the way to the office is 25 KM, it was a acceptable violation of my fuel policy (not more than 20 KM of car driving for a hash).
