Location
In a small wooded area north of Niestetal / Kassel
Participants
Digiphono and his wife
Plans
My wife never understood the fun I had with geocaching and right now she's even more curious about this geohashing thing I'm telling her about since, well, one and a half weeks... To show her the silliness of geohashing, I will take her some 75 meters off a path into a small wooded area and show her my excitement about reaching random coordinates in the middle of nowhere and my geohash app saying "you're there" - which will be very hard to understand for her hehe...
To get her attracted to this, I had to promise we'll do some shopping first, so it's hard to say when we will catch this geohash, but I guess on somewhere between noon and 2 pm (if I'm lucky haha)...
Expedition
As we woke up this morning, the sky was darkened gray and a pouring rain smacked on the windows of our house... 'So, that means no geohashing today' my wife said and I started to get a little sad of course, since this would mean I had to go shopping without visiting the geohash!
We drank some coffee, took a shower, fed the dogs and prepared to take off shopping, as, all in a sudden, the sky turned blue and rays of sun were hitting our garden, exactly at noon. So, I started to smile and said 'let us go shopping' hehe. So we left 12:30 pm, drove to a shopping hall and got out of it in less than one hour - respect goes to my wife for this! Then we drove another 20 kilometers to Niestetal, where we parked at the end of a dead-end road and I started the geohash app on my mobile phone, which showed me a 180 meters to go. Being it such a short hike, my wife came along with me on a path into the woods, untill I said the hash is another 75 meters straight into the forest from here. She told me she would wait and I made my way to reach the hash only a few minutes later. I saw two deers running away frightened (sorry for that) and located the hash without any problems. It was a big stone with a lot of feathers on it, so a bird died here recently! Took some pics, went back and found my wife collecting some seeds and flowers, and we walked the few meters back to the car...
Guess she still doesn't understand the purpose of geohashing, but luckily she also said it was nice to be out there and this will certainly not be our last geohash together ;-)
Tracklog
Since this hike consisted of only 180 meters to the hash and 180 meters back to the car, I didn't track it down...
