Mirca and her son

Plans

It was fine and very warm weather and late in a lazy afternoon. We planned at first to visit the hash point and then the local beach.

Expedition

We drove 23 km southward along the motorway no. 5, turned westward to the road E63 and drove 5 km. Then we turned to the right to the road leading to Airaksela. Then about 7 km north, and a turn to the left to a narrow sand road named Rauhalantie. We drove about 250 m and we were near the point. The point was 2 meters from the road in the thicket consist of birches and short spruces with sharp needles. I think it was an easy point to reach; no water-filled ditches, no marching amidst milliards of mosquitos.

Then we drove to the local beach and swimmed in the lake Iso-Lauas, enjoying the summer evening and holiday!
