== Turf Meetings ==During the Ascension Day weekend I went to [[Kommun:Kalmar |Kalmar]] with some fellow [[Kommun:Uppsala |Uppsala]] turfers. The goal was to collect unique zones, which we did, and enjoy the good weather (only a few drops of rain found us) and meet fellow turfers. On Friday we met up with four [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar ]] turfers for lunch at a very nice vegetarian all-you-can-eat restaurant. It is always fun to exchange experiences and obsess about zones, the ones you love and the ones you hate, but take anyway!

On Saturday me and my partner had very few zones left in [[Kommun:Kalmar|Kalmar]], so we headed west to Nybro, a small city we had visited four years earlier and 'painted white' (meaning we took every zone there, and since this was before Assist, we did it by planning a route where we could bike to all zones in a kind of circle, where we took the zones from each other for half the session). Four years later, Nybro looked like it had a severe case of rubella; red zones among the white ones everywhere! We had over 40 unique zones to explore and add to our collection, yay!

We parked our car by the glass hut Pukaberg, took down our bikes and headed off. Ploff! A local turfer showed up and blocked the first unique zone for us. So we shouted out ”Assist” in the chat and eventually met up with him; [[Användare:Podde|Podde]], a junior high student. He had been a turfer for three months and really enjoyed playing the game. He became our guide, or we his...since we did end up taking [[Zon:LångaKärret|LångaKärret ]] together and it was his first take.
