Location

Wäschenbeuren, in a corn field right next to a golf course.

Participants

Plans

Saturday evening. We were bored but too tired to go out, so we thought about gecaching. We had never done that before and soon discovered that we suck at it. Out of 3 caches, we found not a single one. So let´s try geohashing. We were in quite some hurry in order to make it before midnight.

Expedition

Once we got the technical equipment running it was quite easy to get near the spot. But there was no way to park at the main road, so we tried to approach from the other site. It turned out that there was a golf course, so we drove over a "road" on the golf course, and M-o-D was already in panic that someone might take his car while we where off to walk the last meters. Luckily the corn field was without corn, so a few minutes before midnight we arrived at the destination. Welcome to the new hasher, M-o-D, dragged along by DarkMark.

Looks like we made it !

-Options were going out to the [[http://www.cannstatter-volksfest.de/ Stuttgarter Volksfest]] or hashing.
-DarkMark voted against bad music and at least 3 liters of beer, so hashing was the goal.
-As it was late in the evening, we thought this might be the right time to do a double hash, the Saturday and the Sunday hash in one expedition.

-We were able to drive most of the route by car. The weather was foggy and wet, but it was not raining. Still the ground was wet, and we had to walk the last kilometer.

-We were not prepared for that, and soon we could feel the water between our toes with every step. And awful feeling. But we reached the hash without problems and were motivated to also get the second one in the same night.
