Expedition

For the last night of our motorhome holiday we had found a nice place to stay, about 4 km E from Johanniskreuz.

During breakfast I recognized, that todays hashpoint is very near. My wife, Q-Owla, liked the idea very much. So we drove to a parking place near the Luitpold Tower, vistited the tower and one of the geocaches there. Later we stopped near the hashpoint which was 20 m west to the road.

The coordinates were not easy to find under the trees but after some walking around I was sucessfull. A nice surprise, event and experience at the last day of our trip.
