Location

In Birkholz (Brandenburg), just behind Berlin's southern border.

Participants

• relet
• davidc
• Trurl
• Jerrome

Plans

Relet will be there around noon, since he still longs to test that new electric car, and the station is only open 10-15. Parking near Nachtbucht, taking a short stroll (he is not allowed to drive the car outside the city borders), and possibly looking for a few caches later on.

Looks like a hash collision, finally!

Expedition

• waiting for davidc, someone leaving the town just gave me a free concert ticket. woo for nice people. -- relet 08:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

• Jerrome arrived at the spot somewhat late, about 1620. Using a GPS device intended for a bicycle on a motorbike prooved to be a little more difficult than previously thought. Almost lost my hat, too. Found the markers left behind by relet and davidc.
