After lunch, we drove near the hashpoint and contemplated where to park our car … Since crossing ''Friedberger Straße'' ''(<span style="padding-right: 0.2em">B</span>3)'' (a primary road!) from east to west was way too dangerous, we instead drove onto a track road for a few minutes. This gave me time to reach the coordinates by foot. We had good luck with the hashpoint’s field being low-grown, as the tall-grown field on the other side was a beautiful, but impassable thicket of rape plants. While I stepped towards the coordinates (requiring a jacket as there was a cold blowing of wind), my mom was exalted by the rape (how the sun shone through it and how the wind caused it to reciprocate/resonate), recording a short video to post in her Instagram story. After being done, we drove back onto the primary road in reverse gear. Expedition successful!

Location

In a field, about 50 meters west from Friedberger Straße (B3), in Wetterau county, Hesse, Germany. The closest settlement is Okarben in northeast direction; and the Berufsbildungswerk Südhessen (“vocational training unit of southern Hesse”) is located to the south.

This day’s weather: rainy and soft-haily at first, but then sunny with clouds, however still really cold and windy (typical April weather)

Participants

  • Green guy! (talk)
  • Green guy!’s mother (no consent to publish photos of her)
  • Green guy!’s father (no consent to publish photos of him)

Plans

  1. Drive to Okarben after being done with this Sunday’s church service at CGD
  2. Have lunch at a restaurant in Okarben
  3. Go on a short walk (as the weather is quite cold) to visit the hashpoint
  4. Drive back home

Expedition

As planned, after Sunday church service, my parents and I drove to Okarben via motorway A661 and trunk/primary road B3. In Okarben, I enjoyed a tasty Pizza Margherita at Pizzeria Il Gelato Da Salvo.

After lunch, we drove near the hashpoint and contemplated where to park our car … Since crossing Friedberger Straße (B3) (a primary road!) from east to west was way too dangerous, we instead drove onto a track road for a few minutes. This gave me time to reach the coordinates by foot. We had good luck with the hashpoint’s field being low-grown, as the tall-grown field on the other side was a beautiful, but impassable thicket of rapeseed plants. While I stepped towards the coordinates (requiring a jacket as there was a cold blowing of wind), my mom was exalted by the rapeseed (how the sun shone through it and how the wind caused it to reciprocate/resonate), recording a short video to post in her Instagram story. After being done, we drove back onto the primary road in reverse gear. Expedition successful!

Achievements

Recurring

I already earned these from an earlier geohash, but fulfilled the conditions again on this one.

Osm.png
 Green guy! earned the OpenStreetMap achievement
by contributing [1] to OpenStreetMap based on their expedition to the (50, 8) geohash on 2024-04-21.
Landgeohash.png
 Green guy! earned the Land geohash achievement
by reaching the (50, 8) geohash on 2024-04-21.

And no, drag-along doesn’t count as recurring because my parents are now sort-of familiar with the concept of geohashing (apart from not comprehending the Algorithm’s details).
