For the last night of our motorhome holiday we had found a nice place to stay, about 4 km E from Johanniskreuz.
<!--
 
I had a little bit of time and drove by car to Lorsch. For the next two kilometers I used my bicycle.
 
A short GPS dance showed the exact coordinates which I marked with 4 sticks.  
 
  
And I had been here before (Déjà vu): The cache finals of GC42PEC and GC42NB1 had been here near the crossroad. They are archieved since 2013-11-30.

During breakfast I recognized, that todays hashpoint was very near. My wife, Q-Owla, liked the idea to visit it very much. So we drove to a parking place near the Luitpold Tower, vistited the tower and one of the geocaches there. The banner at the tower is a protest against wind generators.
  
I took some photos,

Later we went  back to the car, drove a few meters and stopped near the hashpoint, which was 20 m west to the road.  
drove back to the car, logged two munzees in Lorsch, "found" the cache [http://www.opencaching.de/viewcache.php?wp=OC0054 OC0054] and drove home. :-)
+
The coordinates were not easy to find under the trees, but after some walking around I was sucessfull. A nice surprise, event and experience at the very last day of our trip. On our way back we found some tasty [[wikipedia:Lactarius_deliciosus|Red pine mushrooms]] (Edelreizker).

In the Palatinate Forest about 180 m SE from the Luitpold Tower on the Weissenberg (about 10 km south of Johanniskreuz).

Participants

Plan

Drive by Motorhome to the hash area.

Expedition

For the last night of our motorhome holiday we had found a nice place to stay, about 4 km E from Johanniskreuz.

During breakfast I recognized, that todays hashpoint was very near. My wife, Q-Owla, liked the idea to visit it very much. So we drove to a parking place near the Luitpold Tower, vistited the tower and one of the geocaches there. The banner at the tower is a protest against wind generators.

Later we went back to the car, drove a few meters and stopped near the hashpoint, which was 20 m west to the road. The coordinates were not easy to find under the trees, but after some walking around I was sucessfull. A nice surprise, event and experience at the very last day of our trip. On our way back we found some tasty Red pine mushrooms (Edelreizker).

It was so nice here, that we came back to this area 25 days later.
