Location

Probably in a really small river.

Participants

RecentlyChanged (talk)

Plans

This opens so many possibilities! It's not far from my current location. I'm pretty sure I can make a tron out of this, probably the hobbit, eventually the drowned rat,.... Exciting!

Expedition

Comment from the page of RecentlyChanged:

  • "Blinded by science, but damn close"

So an expedition happened; don't know if it was a success or failure. --Thomcat (talk) 13:01, 14 April 2015 (EDT)


Finally, a report RecentlyChanged (talk) 14:24, 23 February 2016 (EST) Sorry to keep you waiting. Long story short, the power of my smartphone ran out. So we tried it just by remembering the situation, sadly I misinterpreted the satellite image beforehand. Really content we took pictures with the phone from my sister, but we were in the wrong place. Still it was a beautiful day for a walk and it was especially nice to walk with my sister. We had a lot of fun. We met cows and found the skull of a rabbit (I think). We walked through high grass, muddy fields and forests. It would have been only a bonus if we had reached the hash, but the expedition was still awesome.


I think we missed the hashpoint by approximately 30 meters, it's hard to determine. We stayed on the path though. The stupid grin is on a bridge.
