Location

On a path right at the edge of Glashütten.

Participants

Plans

Go hashing and caching.

Expedition

We had a look at geocaching.com beforehand and plotted a nice little route with nine caches in total which would bring us pretty close to the hash. Due to this, we chose a parking spot that was actually located in Schloßborn rather than in Glashütten.

With five caches before and four caches after, we found the hash easily on a path at the edge of Glashütten. It was actually right in front of the garden entrance of a house where the owners where sitting at a table right in front of a couple of huge windows. We quickly snapped a couple of photos and headed back to our caching route.

While the hash was quite easy, the caches gave us considerably more trouble. Due to the recent snow everything was muddy and wet. Between wet socks and also bottoms (climbing muddy hills is a great idea for 40-year old dads) we didn't quite manage the szupid grin shot but more of a stupid growl shot. Ah well.
