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 was very near. My wife, Q-Owla, liked the idea to visit it very much. So we drove to a parking place near the Luitpold Tower, vistited the tower and one of the geocaches there. The banner at the tower is a protest against wind generators.

Later we went back to the car, drove a few meters and 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 very last day of our trip. On our way back we found some tasty Red pine mushrooms (Edelreizker).

It was so nice here, that we came back to this area 25 days later.
