Location

Near Darmstadt-Eberstadt next to the B426 highway.

Participants

• DODO
• Q-Owla
• Q-Owl

Plans

DODO: Another hash in the Rhine Valley but we're getting closer to the edge. And it is close enough to today's hash, so I can walk there without usig a train, and that's just what I Plan to do.

It's a 25 kilometers walk and I hope to arrive around 4.

Q-Owla and Q-Owl: We planned to find some geocaches and noticed, that todays gh was not far from us. And it did not lie on the military area but between it and the B426. So we decided to go for it.

Expedition

DODO: Arrived at the Hash exactly at 4 pm. Found an xkcd Mark pinned on a tree but not a Feather of an owl.

It seems like we'll never meet :-(

Anyway, a nice walk and a really Lucky location (5 m to the West or the East wouldn't have been accessible).

Q-Owla and Q-Owl: We drove near the hashpoint and had a little bit to dance (under clouds and trees) until we got near enough to it. We waited a while if Dodo might arrive and this time we left a mark for him.
Sorry, that we did not meet each other. But you are invited for a cup of coffee, lunch or what ever you like at our home.

Later we found about 10 geocaches (www.geaocaching.com and www.opencaching.de) near Ober-Ramstadt.

Achievements

DODO, Q-Owla, Q-Owl earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (49, 8) geohash on 2016-03-31.

DODO, Q-Owla, Q-Owl earned the Avoid Each Other Achievement by launching two independent expeditions without meeting up at the (49, 8) geohash on 2016-03-31.

DODO earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching hash points on 3 consecutive days starting on 2016-03-29.

Is it true that Q-Owl earned the Hash collision? In principle, yes. But the cache GC2MEX4 under the bridge nearby wasn't there today and found by me already one year ago (2016-03-31 49 8).
