Expedition
As planned, after Sunday church service, my parents and I drove to Restaurant DHILLION in Niedernhausen, Fischbachtal. We had a delightful time there; I ate a delicious Chicken Korma with rice.
After lunch, we visited the hashpoint: We stopped our car in front of a private driveway for a few minutes (there was no room for parking nearby) so I could hop out and quickly visit the hashpoint. A woman came our way, making sure that we didn’t block the driveway with bad intentions. I took the opportunity to guide her to the hashpoint, where I briefly explained geohashing and the Algorithm, but she didn’t really comprehend what I was talking about. Unfortunately, this didn’t earn me any achievements as she was a stranger who isn’t a geohasher; also, she didn’t agree to let her name or photos of her published.
After that, we parked our car next to the Odenwaldidyll camping site to then visit the nearby castle Schloss Lichtenberg by foot: It was interesting, but also really exhausting due to the 90 meters of height gain from parking lot to castle and because we aren’t used to these conditions (as we live in the Rhein-Main valley/flatland); also, we could have driven up the castle by car, saving us some of that effort, but I thought it was closer (and easier to reach?) from the camping site. All of us, especially me, were extremely tired after finishing the trip.

Achievements
First-time
I earned these for the first time from this geohash.

Green guy! (talk) earned the Two to the N achievement

Green guy! (talk) earned the Land geohash achievement

Unfortunately, I neither got permission to take a photo with the foreign woman, nor to mention her name here. Also, the person is not a geohasher. These circumstances deny me from getting the Meet-up achievement on this expedition and the drag-along achievement doesn’t fit neither.
