Fun Fact

This date is known as the International Day of Joy. Geohashing fits this theme very well as it’s a joyful activity.

Location

In a field, about 50 meters away from the closest agricultural road, in Darmstadt-Dieburg county, Hesse, Germany. The closest settlement is Groß-Zimmern in northeast direction.

This day’s weather: partially sunny and cloudy, warm (~23 °C)

Participants

Green guy! (talk)
Green guy!’s mother
Green guy!’s father

Plans

Drive to Groß-Zimmern in the early evening and park our car at the southwest edge of the settlement
Go on a walk to visit the hashpoint (estimated hashpoint arrival between 17:15 and 17:30)
Have a joyful dinner in a nearby restaurant
Drive back home

Expedition

In a nutshell: We didn’t reach the coordinates in respect of the crops growing on the aforementioned field.^{[Is the No public access category correct in this case?]} Which type of crop, you may ask? Keep reading!

Note: Pictures coming in a moment!

The way there

We started driving towards Groß-Zimmern at 16:45. (Originally, I planned the expedition to start 30 to 60 minutes later, but we had to be done at 19:00 so my father can attend his prayer group.) While still in Darmstadt, we had to avoid some traffic congestion by turning left onto Erbacher Straße to reach the B26 motorroad.

Approaching the coordinates

Despite noticing many no-parking zones in the southwest residential area of Groß-Zimmern, we found a streetside place to park our car.

From there, it was a 1.5 kilometer walk to the hashpoint. On our way through a scenic landscape of fields and farms, we saw a lot of interesting and delightful details: Staying on agricultural roads, we got within a radius of 50 meters from the coordinates just after 17:30. As we didn’t want to trample any turnips (out of respect for the produce, the farmer and the law), we kept our distance from the hashpoint, with myself taking some interesting photos. While walking back to our car, we had some interesting topics to talk about while I was in awe of the whole agricultural system.

Dinner time not at Thessaloniki, but at Toscana

We originally eyed a Greek restaurant, Gaststätte Thessaloniki. On the way there, we faced a roadblock and had to take a detour via side roads to then park our car nearby. However, we were let down by the fact that the restaurant took a summer break – ^{[rant begins]}just why did they not announce it on their website?! I consider this to be rude!^[rant ends] Thank God we saw a different, promising-looking restaurant while bypassing the roadblock earlier. We left our car parked in the same spot and walked over to Ristorante Toscana. There, I once again enjoyed a Pizza Margherita – this time, it tasted really great! I had enough hunger to eat it whole – this doesn’t happen frequently!

The way back home

It went smoothly and I felt happy.

Final verdict

Agricultural awesomeness!

Postscript

As of writing this report on the following day, however, I am suffering from a hangover despite having slept long enough and – obviously – having stayed away from alcohol. That pizza seems to be the main culprit, as it likely overstrained my digestive system, causing fatigue.

Achievements

First-time

I earned these for the first time from this geohash.

Recurring

I already earned these from an earlier geohash, but fulfilled the conditions again on this one.

Green guy! earned the No trespassing consolation prize

by almost (50 m away) reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2024-07-24.
