A new mode of camping was adopted for this trip. My camp was off a very remote section of the White Mountain Forest. Plus, road was blocked by construction. My base camp was 0.6 miles on bike from the car, and then another 0.4 miles on foot. That was far […]
07:00 – I remember waking up very early and planning in my head how to break the camp most efficiently. There was no rain, but everything outside was dripping wet. First to be folded and packed were sleeping bag and pads, food and clothes, kitchen and bath bags. Among first […]
Morning and early afternoon on Wednesday, August 18 we spent in Fribourg (Freiburg in German). This town is a perfect model for Disney World for adults. It simply has everything. It is the capital of a canton (like a state in US). It has upper town and a lower town. […]

Next morning Monday, August 16 rain continued, but for us it was time to move on. First we visited a local Migros Genossenschaft in Adliswil – their supermarket, where we had breakfast + lunch and loaded on food and water supplies for the road ahead. We felt like we were disturbing […]
Rain all night, but I am dry in the tent. Raindrops from the trees still pounding on the tarp, but earplugs softening the noise. 05:55 Awake, but it is raining. Decided to continue to sleep Very slow morning – no reason to venture out while it is raining. 07:55 Wake […]
04:06 Wake up without an alarm – new record. Last record was 04:39 AM several years ago. 04:46 Depart from home. No breakfast, no bath. Just 4 operations: print latest weather forecast, attach bike to car, pickup plastic connectors and tubes for water filter, load tarps, extra blanket, hot […]
