Participants
Plans
- A friend of mine and I plan to come. According to the train schedules, we would probably reach the HP at around 16:10.--DLichti (talk) 07:33, 14 March 2015 (EDT)
- I plan to visit the geohash. It's in a field near Blankenloch. -- Snoopy (talk) @49.0452,8.4634 19:41, 13 March 2015 (EDT)
- I want to visit this point by bike, but I can't come that late. I plan to start in Speyer at 12:30, so I will arrive between 14:30 and 15:00. What a pity, I'd love to meet DLichti again. -- DODO (talk)

DODOs story
I couldn't leave as soon as I had planned as I had to pick up little girl, which got here drivers license the day before yesterday and wanted to practice urgently. So I left home at 12:30 what was still far to early to meet DLichti and much to late to meet Snoopy on the other hand. It seems that I'm witched to earn 100 avoid each other-Achievements. I still choose to go there by bike.
The ride was rather uneventful. I started with a little detour so I could go for a tron achievement.It was colder than I had expected, with a fresh wind from the north but after a while I got warm and as I was riding southwards the wind came from the rear and I was much faster than expected. Well, at least until I got near Schloss Stutensee, where I saw a sign leading to a war memorial graveyard. This was a dilemma. I really wanted to see the memorial but I had no idea how far this would lead me and so had to take my bike with me, what would definitely destroy my tron. Well, I'm a cultural guy (and I didn't want to be responsible for you all not seeing any pictures of it).
So I first took a picture of castle Stutensee (which today houses an institution to help children) and then I found what I was looking for next to a paddock: a little graveyard with 15 graves. The castle was used as a military hospital at the end of WWII and these 15 men all died there in March 1945.
From there it was only some 100 m to the hash. Once again I had to enter a ploughed field. On my first attempt I had to walk 200 m into it but there was a path leading along the side of the field and so I could bring the muddy part down to 70m. As I could easily be seen from the close farmhouse I stayed as short as possible, just a proof and some further pictures, but not even a mark for DLichti (maybe he'll find my footsteps, but I didn't see any of snoopys footsteps either).
Back to my bike I had an apple and then rided on. Soon I reached Leopolfshafen, where I got some ice cream next to a funny house. Just a little bit further I reached a ferry, where I had to wait for a quarter of an hour again. I feared the way back, as the wind was still coming from the north, but the way lead me through some forest and so the wind couldn't stop me (except for the last 15 KM from Germersheim to Speyer).
