Expedition
I looked the nearest street up in the Geohash Droid app and let my hashmobile guide and carry me there. I knew from the map it was close to a crossroads on the very end of Rodersdorf at the last building, already within agriculture of different sorts.
I parked the car at the crossroads and walked on towards the indicated direction. When the GPS display indicated 1m and I couldn't get it to flip back to zero again without falling into the hedges in my respectable-person-costume required for tomorrow's working day, I called it off as reasonably close and a success.
basically, the hash was just two or three meters off the field road, at the edge of a tiny river in the brush.
On the way back, I saw a gentleman in the garden next to the hash coordinates being willingly busy half-hidden behind some stuff and greeted him. Suspecting he wasn't there by chance I asked him whether he was curious what I was doing just there, and indeed, he politely agreed that he was curious indeed...
I explained to him the chance adventures based on Randall's comic and he understood it was a way to get around and see things in a game. Fair enough I think. His wife and dog joining in the explanation, I met a nice swiss couple on the expedition and made my way back to Basel again.
"Of course", I forgot the mini USB cable required for the GPS screenshot download. Will follow.Finally updated! (2020-06-15)
