Location
Approx. 1 km E of Mammendorf, on a field and very close to an intersection that was clearly visible on maps and satellite images.
Participants
Plans
The plans were: Do not work long today, take an early train, check out the spot and be home in time to cook dinner and have it ready at 8 pm.
Expedition
This one was easy because the landmarks were very obvious. Again, I was amazed how good OpenStreetMap (OSM) is compared to Google Maps. The bridge North of the location and the new road across it were accurately displayed on OSM, but only hinted at on Google Maps. Also, the smaller roads between the fields were all there on OSM -- even the very tiny ones. Awesome!
Photos
Yes, I did take pictures, but it might take some more days for me to put them here.
For now, I'll just mention that I saw the coolest garbage compactor/shredder ever! Once I add the pictures, I am sure that all y'all will agree. This thing was incredibly cool looking. I thank the algorithm for constantly taking me to places where I see stuff like that.
Also, the weather was just beautiful.
