Expedition

Finally the hashpoint came close to Karl_77's house again! As it was only about 2,6 km to the hash point, Karl_77 and Kristallviolett decided to walk and to try the Tron Achievement. On their way they made to short stops, one at an ice cream parlor and one at a LIDL supermarket to get some water. Kristallviolett went into the supermarket so Karl_77 wouldn't screw up his Tron track. The hash point was rather unspectacular, just an empty meadow next to a small road. On the way back the battery of Karl_77's phone got empty. Fortunately Kristallviolett's mobile is using the same battery so they could change and continue the tracklog right after a reboot. It was a successfull expedition with two new achievements for Karl_77 and a lot of nice sunlight.

A hashpoint in walking distance? On a sunny day? And even a report indicating that the coordinates are reachable? Sounds like an ideal after-work expedition for me!

  On the other side of the street, farmers were still working. We had lots of rain during the last months, and many farmers feared they would lose most of their crops because it was too wet to bring them in. It started to become sunny and hot two days ago.

  I'd love to live in one of those houses. I'd also love to be able to pay for it.
