Location

In the little French part (northern Alsace) of the Mannheim graticule.

The hashpoint is located in the forest near the D3 road leading from Lauterboug to Wissembourg, about 6.8 km east of the center (railway station) of Wissembourg.

Plan

DODO: The whole graticule is waiting for this for more than five years: HP in the french 3 % of it. And before I could even look out for the tomorrows HP I already got a message from Q-Owl about it and he has also already created a page, because he knew, someone will go. Well, it's pretty far from home and I have to go to work tomorrow of course, but I guess I can leave pretty early. So here are my plans:

• I can offer a free ride from Speyer to the hashpoint for up to 7 persons (including me). So if anyone wants to join, I would be very appreciated, to pick you up (i.e. at the station) and have a real nice meetup. If this take place, I would start around 5 pm.
• If nobody else wants to gain all those pretty ribbons (or at least, no one wants to go there with me), I have to go there on my own. In this case I wouldn't feel fine to use all the fuel and I would go there by bull direct from work (what makes it a nearly 90 KM-ride one way). I hope to arrive before 7 pm (and catch the train home from Kapsweyer at 19:41).
