Expedition

2014-05-21 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 0794.jpg I started at home at 10:30 and started to hitchhike at 11:30. After 20 minutes I got a car to Hedemünden and there the second car stopped and I got a lift to Freudenthal. I made this detour for some research in geocaches and shelters. While walking around I saw several dragonflies making love. But here I could take only a photo of a flying one.
2014-05-21 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 0797.jpg On this mountain lied the hash, not very far away, only 200 meters, upward.

So I took one for a test and I found out, that this way led me not nearer to the hash than 54 meters. So I tried the next one to the right and this one led me 35 meters to the hash.
