Expedition

The weather was really gray, but since the latitude was really low today it was possible to reach the hash in Östhammar, Sweden so it was worth it. Got to the car and started driving to the E18 and then towards Norrtälje. I rolled up behind the Rozzers as the Britons say so this makes it a Police Achivement. I needed to get some food at Mickey D anyway so I just did that.

Went through Norrtälje and onto the 76 that turned into the 283. After the turn off the 283 the road was just all slush. It was +2 or +3 C all day though and no wind so no Frozen Geohash and pretty comfy. Then a sharp left onto what felt like the craziest narrow raised road in the middle of the forrest. And it was dead straight for a lot of the time. Google Maps lead me on a wild goose chase into the wrong vacation village but I soon found the right one. Parked the car and walked though the abandoned backyard of one of the cabins.

Found the spot at the edge of the forest and took some pictures and saw a birdhouse.

Then onto the next one! 2012-01-17 60 17
