Plans

Hey, it's geohashing day and so I want to go to the hash, even it it is a bit far away. I'll try to get there by bullriding after work. I get out of the office now (4 pm) and I will need little more than an hour to get to Neckargemünd. It would be really nice to meet some hashers on this special day.

Expedition

I got out of the office at 4 o'clock but I totally underestimated the time that I'd need, to cross Heidelberg during the rush hour. And to ride along the Neckar on the busy road is only half the fun, too. Nevertheless I arrived at the hash at 17:45 and was a little bit disappointed that no one else was there or had been there earlier, although the hashpoint was quite nice. It was in a sparse forrest just 10 m away from the path, which was even rideable although it was a little bit steep. On my way I bought some strawberries in Neckargemünd. Of course I ate some at the hashpoint, and they turned out to be some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten. I also bought some asparagus on my way in Schwetzingen, and so I had a good dinner this evening, too.
