Plans

Coming from 2013-10-27 48 8 I want to hitchhike there and back home.

Expedition

	I started for this journey at the service station Baden-Baden just in a big rain. After prepared for this rain I had seen a car with the car ID of the county Tuttlingen, which is the county where the hash lay.
	The lift went into the night of the Black Forest. It was raining all the time and I ended up at a meeting place for carpooling near Rottweil. There I walked around looking for a good place to hitchhike to Geisingen or to Tuttlingen, but I didn't find one. So I returned to the carpooling place and asked the drivers there for a lift to my destinations. After three hours I got a lift to Geisingen, the car driver brought me to the beginning of the forest. From there I walked three kilometers into the forest, but always uphill with a pitch above 10%.
This is the shelter where I had spent the night. Looking in the morning is very nice. But as I arrived in the late evening there was a storm on the mountains howling and I was happy that I could close the door. But with the closed door I couldn't sleep because I live in the cities and there is no absolute darkness. So I opened it a little bit. In the middle of the night the moon shone through the door and then I slept better.
	The Öfingerhauhütte is 879 above sea level, the village of Geisingen has 670 m, the river Donau has there 665 m.
	After starting the expedition I walked through a sunny forest, but then I walked too far. This is the bad way.
	This is the good way.
After taken the good way I landed on this plateau. Somewhere there is the hash.
In the wilderness I found a border stone. I put my luggage there and marked this as a waypoint. First to find it easy back but also with a sign that other people could find me if I would be hurt.
	Then I walked in between the trees to find the hash. (proof1)
View to the north, the west and the east. Remember it!
	View to the south. Look in between the trees and see the village of Geisingen.
	View to the edge of the plateau. I didn't want to go near it.
	On the way back. (proof2)
	I like this game!
	Now I had been hungry and thirsty. Because yesterday I passed only service stations, I had no possibility to buy cheap food. So I decided to take the way which seemed to be the shortest to the village. (The village is behind the trees here.)
Somewhere there on the hill is the hash.
Somewhere there on the hill is the hash.
Somewhere there on the hill is the hash.
	The green line of bushes there is the way which I have taken yesterday evening in the dark.
	The mountain of the hash. But I had been too near to see the hash from here.
You have remembered the views from the hash? There in the middle of the ridge you see green trees, there is the hash.

	at this place I could satisfy my hunger and my thirst
