I will hitchhike to that place to be there at 16:00 for a xkcd-meetup.

Expedition


		I started to hitchhike at Kaufungen-Papierfabrik at 12:30. After one minute a car stopped and I got a lift to Großalmerode. As many times I wanted to explain my quest to the driver. But soon as I used the word geohashing, the driver said he know about the game. As always I understood that the driver is thinking about geocashing and I wanted to correct him. But he stayed at his statement, that he knows about geohashing. And he told me, that he has a friend in Hamburg, who does sometimes geohashing. Then he told me, that his sons do geocashing and I understood, that he knew the difference. This driver brought me to Epterode to the former railway station, where I arrived and started to walk at 12:53.
		Then I walked through Epterode. The road itself was signed as a county road, but at the end of the village the county road ended too.
		Behind the hill I had a first look to Laudenbach. As I passed Laudenbach I had a first look to the railway (here on the bridge).
		Then I walked along the track and at least I was able to reach the hash by five meters. Look around:
to the north	to the east	to the south
		But then I tried to go nearer to the hash, to go into the cut. And 40 meters away I found a small path crossing the railway track and from there I could walk along the track to the hash.
		proof!

		Then I waited until 16:00 for some friends, but nobody arrived. Then I walked a bit around and here is another view of the hash.
