Abseits, in den Wäldern, verliert man entlang von Gesprächen schneller als gewohnt Orientierung und Route. Der Weg ist uneben und feucht, schwüle Hitze überzieht die eigene Haut wie ein zäher undurchdringlicher Film. Steine, Disteln, Pferdebremsen und man schreitet schneller voran, als man eigentlich wollte. Was bleibt, ab hier: Zurückfinden, an den Teichen vorbei, dorthin, wo die Strecke begann.

July 20, 1983, 42 years ago today: There was a very slight descent and ascent between the crests of Stony Mountain and Sharp Mountain, and then it was all ridge walking for the final seven miles of the day. The Appalachian Trail followed the traces of an old stage road for most of that distance, passing through an attractive wooded tract known as Saint Anthony’s Wilderness.

It was 2 months ago when I took this picture. Should go hiking more often.

Shit happens...

July 20, 1983, 42 years ago today: The remainder of the trail over Peters Mountain was much like the last few miles of hiking yesterday. The rocks continued to be tolerable. There were but a few exceptionally bad stretches. Thus far, only about twenty-five percent of the trail since the Cumberland Valley has been particularly rocky.

#Today 20

Nature’s bounty,
often called public lands,
parks and places
where you can find your soul,
a refuge where troubles are dismissed.

Wild blessings,
for one and all,
but when they’re gone
they’re in greed’s clutches,
our public birthright traded for a song.

Be everwell.

Is it possible for a serious #amateurradio operator to take a #hike without an activation? Yes, sometimes taking along you radio just isn’t feasible: Today we walked the Uttewalder Grund in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, which is basically a canyon. Carrying the radio’s weight just doesn’t make any sense there. #hiking #Saxony #Germany #Amaturfunk #Wandern #Nationalpark

Today the esker wasn't a good hiking place according to Alea the Black Cat. There was much sniffing the air, little walking, and then she lead me back to the house. As usual I have no idea why. Maybe the fox made some extra rounds checking out the fresh laundry nearby? Only the cat knows.

Wir haben uns gestern im #Kino "Der Salzpfad" angesehen.

Schöner, eingehender Film... und bei den wunderbaren Landschaftsaufnahmen bekam ich gleich Lust, den #SWCP nochmal zu bewandern.
