Location

On a bicycle path next to Biebesheim.

Participants

Plans (DODO?)

To catch the train at 9:02 in Speyer, arrive in Gernsheim at 10:07, ride to the hash on my bicycle and ride on to Groß Gerau. Catch the train there at 11:55 and drive to Neuwied, where I'll visit my mother, before I cycle from hash to hash the following three days.

Expedition (DODO)

Had a nice trip, all the train- and bicycle riding worked as planned. Will tell more and load some pictures when I'm at home again.

Expedition (Rincewind & Yakamoz)

We celebrated Easter Sunday with Rincewind's family with a lavish Asian Buffet Lunch, Paschal Lamb cake and chocolate Easter Bunnies. Afterwards, it's high time we went geohashing. The next was in Biebesheim, 19 km away from home. It was very easy to reach. When we walked back, we almost walked through it, without noticing handwriting on the ground, but Rincewind still spotted it: An XKCD logo and the link written in chalk... Rincewind supposed DODO could have been there before us. He's right, is he not?...

Expedition (Q-Owl)

After most members of the family had left, the others wanted to watch "Horsewhisperer" on TV, but I needed some time out. So (without having a look at http://wiki.xkcd.com) I drove to Biebesheim arriving at 21:30. I found the hashpoint quickly and made the first photos.

But oops! There was some chalk writing. *ggg* Very nice to see this kind of greeting, confirming that I am not the only geohash freak in this area. ;-)
