And yes, the motivation was there to go on the road northwards in direction of the geohash.

I went over the border to Germany in Rheinau. The river Rhine marks the border, so I have to go over a small wooden bridge. And there was my first geocache I found today nearly under that bridge. So i logged the small logbook and drove on.
 
I crossed the "Jestetter Zipfel" which means an almost enclave of Germany, the commune Jestetten.
 
Then I entered Switzerland again for a few kilometers and I arrived in Osterfingen.
 
Uphill to the vineyards where the todays geohash layed.
 
I stopped, made a few steps in the right row and made my proofs.
 
Afterwards I drove away, same way back and collected 2 more geocaches before I picked up my kids from the training.

Same plan as last week :-)

Expedition

When I arrived in Schlattingen, I drove as close to the geohashpoint as I could. At the end of the street I rang the doorbell, but no one answered, even though the light was on... The coordinates were on the other side of the house behind trees. I didn't want to sneak around houses in the dark without permission so as not to alert the neighbors. So I retreated when, after ringing the bell several times, still no one opened the door. Unfortunately, 40m were still missing!..
