Expeditions

Locations (Alphabetical)

  • Fredericksburg, Texas - This location is actually in the far northwest suburbs of Austin near Lake Travis and Lago Vista. It appears to be on a short residential street, and is walking distance to the lake in several directions.
  • Munich, Germany - The location near Munich, Germany is very cool again: Close to Zengermoos, somewhat NNE of the City. Some dude called zb says: "I have done many very nice bike rides in this beautiful area. Definitely worth a visit. I really can recommend it big time. I hope I will find time to check it out. By the way: The location's nerd factor is high, maybe 3k9 on a scale from 0 to 4k7. This is because it is very close to the beautiful AM and FM radio transmitting station München-Ismaning (English: [1]; German, with more pictures:[2]). In addition, the location appears to be directly below a high voltage power line. If anyone is willing to bring an aerial or a coil, there might be a chance to use the surrounding electromagnetic fields to power up small bulbs or LEDs. Or even a notebook, who knows? FCC-like regulations shall be obeyed during all experiments, though. We don't want to mess with e.on or the Telekom. Also, coming from the City, it is just another 30 min bike ride from the location to the south fence of Munich's airport where awesome plane spotting locations can be found right next to beautiful nature. The contrast of nature and the airport's concrete desert never fails to amaze me when I am there. There is also a bike lane running like a circle through the middle of the airport and along its south perimeter."
  • Norfolk, Virginia - A country road in North Carolina, and it appears to be adjacent to a large field.
  • Saint Louis, Missouri - a small field east of Roachtown (no joke), IL, which is, in turn, just east of Millstadt, IL.
