Expedition
My wife wanted to practice driving, and having nowhere specific to go, I remembered xkcd. Why not! - we thought, so after feeding the navigation system, we grabbed the camera and just went. It was a bit difficult to cross a small river at some point near the target coordinates (the road simply didn't exist, or was removed by a farmer to enlarge his crop), but eventually we reached it more or less around 17:00. We didn't see anyone else, and we left the GPS in the car, not thinking about producing some proof (I read about that later).
But it was a beautiful trip. Colourful trees, frightening amounts of crows emerging in symmetrical waves after I opened the door. Then quietness, sunset, and a distant mist. I think we will do this again!
