Week 2, Round 5: Return to Scandinavia?

First Impressions: We’re back in Scandinavia. Red houses with white trim seems to be a cultural aesthetic. And honestly, it looks really close to Round 3 (Norway!) in terms of general foliage and climate.

Looking around: Yup. Back in Scandinavia!

I’ve seen the clover leaf symbol on some of the other signs around Scandinavia. I should pay more attention to what it signifies. I really hope it will be a roundabout or a junction of some kind.

Awesome. Another Sund. This one is the Ostersund on highway 87. Hrm.

Is it safe to assume that a truck bearing a .se url and what seems to be a Swedish coloured seal is in Sweden? Also is it likely that this is a mail truck?

Looking back, it seems like we are somewhere between Solleftea (south) and Ostersund (north) on the 87 in Sweden. Begin triangulation.

Unfortunately, that’s a big area.

But as they are more east-west to each other, what I should do is look for spots along this spell that go north-south for a little bit.

I found Vasterede and Osterede on the map and traced it back to the only section of the 87 that allowed me to be heading north south but have Ostersund on the north side. I was a bit tired so I took a chance, and it paid off.

So I end pretty well. Only 20 points down total.
