Expedition

Coming from 2014-09-20 48 9, I started to hitchhike at Stuttgart-Degerloch. A truck stopped and I got a lift to Balingen. There I spent the night under the roof of the vocational school. On Sunday at first I took a glance to the city of Balingen, then I started to hitchhike to Lörrach. I needed two cars. I arrived at the junction of the motorway, from there I had to walk along the river 'Wiese', not passing the village, to the hash. I found it as expected on the hill between Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. The hash lied on a meadow with apple trees and looked like fenced in. From the street I could get a shot of four meters and found it enough. Then I went away. After some steps I noticed that i had forgotten to take some pictures and returned. And saw, that there was no fence at the other end. So I could walk onto the meadow, found the exact spot and took all of the pictures. After been back to the street, I looked for a proof where (in which city) the hash would lie. And I found a landmark between the street and the meadow. Then I walked to Weil am Rhein and there I found a city map, which showed to me, that the border between the two cities is between the street with its footway and the meadow. Then I went to the motorway for hitchhiking to Lehrte to see 2014-09-22 52 9.
