Since I was going down to Onsala for my mom's 65th birthday anyway this weekend, why not try to get some virgin graticules on the way down. And what do you know, 5 of them lined up next to great roads like E4, 26, 193, 46, 47, E20 and E6. This time, going East-West was going to be easy. And three of them were virgins! Time to deflower.

Expedition

I packed the car and fueled it up and tried to leave as early as I could. Had a very nice dinner the night before so was a bit tired. Five-O pulled over a car at the gas station so police achievement. Took Huddingeleden to Flemingsberg and continued past the courthouse until GPS said stop. Hopped out and walked behind the appartment buildings and it turns out the hash was in the middle of an allotment garden. Sky was all gray so bearings was hard and GPS in the phone was super slow to update, sometimes taking over a minute so the last meters were tough to pinpoint.

Found it inside someones little lot in front of a shed. Took a panorama and marked in the snow, froze a bit since it was -1 C so jogged back to the car.

Onwards to 2012-01-20 58 14!
