It was on island Muhu, behind the famous Koguva old style farm house
village-museum. So I parked in their parking lot, which was about 700 meters
from the point and made my way around the museum by foot. A nice little
exercise in fresh air to clear out the last night's celebration of new year.
There were some small trails between junipers. It was few degrees (C) minus and
little snow on the ground. In some places there was water under snowy grass. On
the left there was nice view to Saaremaa island and Orissaare radio tower 2,5km
over strait Väike. There were also some majestic white swans on the strait. The
point was on a meadow, 150 meters from sea. On the way back to home there were
cops on the road near Orissaare. They had stopped a vehicle because of
over-speeding and it looked like they were having a serious conversation with
the driver.

Wouldn't you like to be a swan? I wouldn't. With bare ass in cold water - no thanks!!

Good things about it were that it was quite close to my home and it was
possible to drive to 90 meters. Bad things were that it was in a brush that was
dense like a jungle and soaking wet from cold rain. Temperature was +1C and
there was nothing interesting around it. Good fresh air of forest though.

The first time for me to visit a dashpoint situated in urban area. It was next
to a nice small house, surrounded by garden.

It was next to the front left corner of the house

It's already 2nd dashpoint this year that has "fallen" into Kaugatoma-L�u
landscape protection reserve. I'm not quite sure, what's so special in this
place that it needs to be protected, but anyway, it's surrounded by a fence and
that's how the area is called. The point was just a kilometer from GDAQ-MODE
that I visited in February!!! So basically there was nothing new for me. I
parked my car on the picturesque sea-side and found a gate in the fence. From
there I took a 600m walk along a wet trail over stony pastory with some juniper
bushes growing on it (of which some were dried and dead).

So I made a road-trip to village Saareküla for visiting the point. It was
possible to drive to 75 meters. A short walk took me exactly to the point. It
was on a harvested field, which had some wild flowers growing on it. 1.3km from
the point there was an althar rised for goddess Blesta, who is belived to be
the creator of the world civilization 30000 years ago.

On the first attempt of approach through Kiruma village I met a "Private road"
sign by some houses at 2.5km distance. That made me turn around and make a 23km
long arc to approach through Küdema. That was successful. I drove to 250 meters
and took a walk over a clear cut area of forest. There were some cowberries
growing and I also found two strawberries, of which one tasted quite good.

I parked my car by Kuressaare - Sandla road at 1.2km distance and walked
through forest. There were some nets with orange 2cm long spiders on the way,
some dewberries (Rubus caesius) and an ant nest. At 25 meters from the point
there were also some wild raspberries.
