Expedition

Canada geese on their way to the north.

Pastori and Wife continued driving towards the next unconquered graticule and point. After 63 km they switch from a bigger highway to a smaller road.

They drive for 6.5 km through houses and stretches of open fields. A flock of Canada geese were making their way towards the north. And then the point is already only 30 m away. As they get out of the car they can hear the distinct bleating sound of a common snipe in flight and the sorrowful trill of a willow warbler. Thankfully they are at a small forest so it's okay to go forward without worries. But who shall go and who shall not? Wife returns to the car to put on another layer of clothing as Pastori is already pushing forward to the middle of the thicket and reaches the point at an accuracy of 1.166 m. Wife settles for immortalizing Pastori's victorious expression as he emerges from the forest and so the graticule has been conquered and it's only 11 in the morning.

One more picture to commemorate the day – set the camera on the roof of the car, set the forest in the background, smile for the camera and summer and the off they go again, this time in search for lunch and new adventures.
