About

Today's location is in a meadow in the village of Dłużyna Górna, right at the corner of a farm's fence. Or it may be the tree just inside the fence, Google's satellite view gave only limited resolution.

Expedition

10 days ago, Danatar found xkcd on the internet and, while browsing the comics, geohashing. Captivated by this simple yet interesting concept, he checked the lookup page daily, waiting for a hashpoint in a reachable distance. Today's location was only 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Görlitz, Germany, where he's currently staying for a workshop, so plans were made on Friday, as soon as the Dow Jones opened. Google Maps screenshots, route planner... but how to get there? Walking was no option, a car nowhere in reach, so the only possibility was a bike. Sunday morning was spent trying to find a bike rental agency. No bikes left or closed on Sundays, Danatar finally got a bike at noon, after 1.5 hours of searching. The expedition could start.
