Expedition

Danatar

After work I drove towards the hashpoint. I didn't find the note with the coordinates on it so I used the GPS's overview mode to find the way to Trimberg, then at about 17:15 I parked the car near the train station when the track's quality diminished. I continued on foot along the track which quickly changed into a narrow piece of meadow with tire tracks along a field. A narrow piece of wet meadow, that is, it was raining lightly all the time. After passing a woman playing with her dog I reached a pasture with three horses on it only a few dozen metres from the hashpoint. Directly next to the pasture an apple tree was growing with apples lying on the ground under it. I picked up one of those and went to the horses. They were very shy at first and ran away (once when I almost slipped on the wet grass, and then when I moved my umbrella too fast) but they soon came to be fed and petted. I went to get more apples, took a few bites out of the best-looking one and shared them with the horses. Then I went to the Fränkische Saale river (on the other side of the pasture) to take some pictures before looking for the hashpoint.

At 6 pm I saw srs0 and thepiguy walk towards me.
