After walking over a kilometer it was time to head into the forest, it was completely dark and I didn't see much of it. It seems like a crazy decision to try to walk the last 700 meters to the hash but it's also a kinda crazy decision to head out half an hour after midnight to try to reach a coordinate in the middle of a forest and then walk by foot for about six hours just to reach "nothing". (...)It was completely wet in the forest, small lakes and swamps had been temporarily created by the melting snow but this time it wouldn't stop me. My shoes got wet after just a few minutes and turned wetter since I had walked in deeper and deeper swamps. (...)I finally reached the geohash and it felt great.
