I've been blessed with a lot of neat things in my life, but this pile of iron and wood is definitely in the top three.

@JamesNielsen my oven is old, cranky, and unreliable, similar to its owner. Temps I give might be off by a factor of ?

@JamesNielsen sealing the aluminum foil envelope is the key, it slow steams everything. Try turning the temperature down a little

Back from about 7h bike and hike. Got up before 6am - totally worth it but with a couple of challenging sections.

It was quite a walk along this ridge. Sometimes pathless, sometimes directly at the cliff. But always with some gentle wind.

Just got a blister at my right heel. Luckily it only got worse shortly before reaching the bike. Time to resupply our medikit with anti-blister patches.

I only met a couple of people who own the huts and care for the cattle up there. I had some nice chats with them and asked which springs would be drinkable and how much cattle they have up there.

I just wasn't overly amused once when I saw a couple of mountainbikers riding a trail which isn't allowed for biking.
I can totally understand that some of those trails must be AMAZING to bike, but it's still a nature protection zone with a couple of rules 😕

Please, Nature isn't our amusement park.

@hikingdude Stunning!

My only question would be, "Why did you come back?" 🤣 Okay, I'm half serious. This is breathtaking, Franz. Thank you!

Show threadFranz Graf19h ago

@CA_Hawthorne
Haha, thank you Christina!
When I was up there I *SO* much enjoyed being there.

Maybe it wasn't my last visit there 😉

I was so grateful to have this reachable to me, to be Self-assured enough to do this alone, to be fit enough to be able to do IT, to value it.
I know that I can't take it for granted.

Show threadChristina Anne Hawthorne19h ago

@hikingdude Beautifully said, and in a way that reminds me of every similar experience I've ever had.

I would certainly return.

Hiking the exposed ridges speaks to me, the satisfaction in still moving forward, the joy of having spectacular views to either side, and enjoying the air movement that has the added benefit of carrying away the tiny, biting creatures. 😃

Exactly that! The trail and the conditions were just amazing today

@hikingdude You have such nice areas to hike, I really love the photos!

@ericphelps
Thank you Eric! 🙏
Actually, such feedback really made me aware of what I'm having here.

I grew up here, it was "normal" to me. - Now I want to share it with people who can't see this themselves.

Show threadEl Perro Negro19h ago

@hikingdude what a wonderful hiking area! I know I would love it there.

I use compeed if I get blisters but applying sports tape in advance when I get a heat spot on my heel seems to solve the problem in advance

Show threadFranz Graf19h ago

@elperronegro
Oh for sure you'd love it!! I have no doupt! 😀

We also had one compeed in our medikit... ONE! 🤦 unfortunately I have two feet and I got blisters on both. Luckily only one demanded further action.

@electricfusionQ 😄 Danke dir.

@hikingdude Kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Besonders bei dem Wetter. 😅
Show threadFranz Graf14h ago

@electricfusionQ Ach oben ging eigentlich immer ein schöner Wind - nicht kühl aber immerhin Wind. (Ich wollt schon gar nicht mehr runter 😄
Und ich bin ja auch schon um 7 losgefahren

Aber diese Steigungen und der Rucksack (ich *muss* ja auch immer die Kamera und ein Tele dabei haben) - oiweh - das macht schon echt immer was aus ... ABER ich hab mir jetzt auch notiert, wo ich ggf Wasser auffüllen kann - das sind dann wieder ~2kg die ich nicht rauffahren muss.

@hikingdude Die 2kg machen scho was aus. 😅 Kenns ja mit dem Hüftairbag 😂

Bei mir gestern anderes Gelände, aber ähnlich. Dort ist dann noch das Insektenschutzmittel (Bio) dazu grkommen, hauptsächlich wegen der Zeckengefahr. Ich überlege in letzter Zeit immer wieder, ob ich vielleicht wieder mal beim Wandern im Freien übernachte. Doch gestern dann die Vorstellung, dass man dann ohne Dusche mit der ganzen Verklebung in den Schlafsack muss, hat mir gar nicht behagt. Früher wäre mir das egal gewesen.
Man wird halt auch nicht jünger.. 😁

@wandermonty @hikingdude In den Ammergauer Alpen habe ich mir 12 Zecken eingefangen. Trotz Schutz. War nicht so toll.

@codestupser @wandermonty
😳 12?! Ja Merci. 😱

So eine Dusche nach einer Wanderung ist schon irgendwie das abschließende Highlight für mich.
