The Expedition

In 2019, I took a hiatus. But with leap day 2020, I wanted to do something special again. Having done the Leap geohash achievements in 2012 and 2016, I wanted to continue the streak.

I figured the geohash was near Türkheim, a town I know quite well because my alphorn group is meeting there. Consequently, the route via autobahn was not a problem. I arrived in Türkheim around 11 o'clock, refilled the car and bought something light to eat. I parked on the area of the former train station, checked my eTrex and started to walk.

It was a nice walk of about 1km of service roads, mostly paved, so in good conditions. Before taking any pictures at the geohash, I had a little picnic by eating the baguette roll I bought. After I finished what may qualify as a brunch I took some photographs.

The service road was not very fascinating, so I took some more photos on my way back, including fields and some horses.

Finally, I went home again to go shopping for the weekend
