Plans

After passing 2014-09-15 51 6 I wanted to hitchhike and walk to this one.

Expedition

After successfully passing 2014-09-15 51 6, I traveled along with the car to the service station Bottrop. There I waited for one hour for the next car, this one brought me to the junction Bönen. There I walked to the hash. Instead seeing a field I saw grass, dittels and nettles. The grass was very deep - or it grew high, more than a meter. I walked straight in, decided not to make the last five meters, and walked straight out. Took some photos.

Then I wanted to go home. Also hitchhiking. But today was a Monday evening and I thought about difficulties. But that was wrong. At the end of the industrial area I got a car and with this car I got a lift to the service station Am Haarstrang. By walking and hitchhiking and walking I calculated about two hours, I made it within 25 minutes. And again I had luck. Instead a long waiting, I got the fourth car and I arrived at 21:00 at Kassel, partially with a speed above 200 km/h. I arrived at home at 21:45.
