Plans

Today’s coordinates are very close to yesterday’s geohash. The plan is the same: take the train to Erstein, cycle to and from the coordinates, and take the train back home.

Hopefully Baarde won’t repeat yesterday’s mistakes.

Expedition

I took the train from Sélestat to Erstein, then cycled for 10 minutes on the D426 road through Schaeffersheim, up to a bridge on a small brook that marks the village western boundary.

The sun was setting over the distant mountains and the sky was full of colours. It was very pleasant.

I left my bicycle near the road and sneaked between a thick hedge and a cornfield. Fortunately, the cornstalks were widely spaced and I quickly reached a meadow. The coordinates were located in the hedge, between two nondescript trees.

I recorded proof while dozens of mosquitoes were attacking me. I took off, returned to the road and cycled back to the train station.
