Plans

As I needed to get some canned food for Pedro, I decided to do a little detour and go for the hash.

Expedition

All went as planned until our journey almost came to a stop due to heavy rain, which made the traffic really slow. But we made it and stopped at a small parking lot directly at the river Gersprenz. In the mean time the rain had stopped completely. From the parking lot we had a nice walk through the fields towards the hash point. On the way we found some deep puddles I had to explore (thanks to my Hunters). Pedro was far less amused and did a slalom run to avoid getting wet paws.

We then found the hash without trouble although it was amidst some bushes right at the feet of a giant tree. The direct surrounding wasn't very interesting but on our way back be passed by a corn field with corn plants almost 3m of height. What a shame the hash wasn't right in this field. It would have been fun to muddle through the corn.

It then suddenly started to rain again but less heavy than before so we came back to the car almost untainted.

  Just a little more to the south and the expedition would have been a "not reached"
