Harpers Ferry ...
23 November 2017, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C
ist eine Stadt auf der rechten Seite des Potomac, die allerlei Geschichten aus dem Bürgerkrieg zu erzählen hat. Zwei Eisenbahnbrücken führen hinüber, davon eine mit einem Fußgängerweg. Also das Fahrrad entladen und die Treppe zur Brücke hinauf.
Ich habe ein Zimmer in der Stadt gemietet. Heute ist Thanksgiving, und die Leute haben das Haus voller Besuch. Auch ich bekomme noch ein Stück vom Truthahn und ein Bier.Baca selengkapnya

Tach Ullerich, auch von mir ein "fröhliches Erntedankfest" aus der Heimat. Auch auf diesen Photos: tolle Landschaften, grandiose Stahlbaubrücken und ein famoser Tunnel-Eingang. Jost vom F 18

“Ginger” Partner Extraordinaire
18 April 2024, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
Let me tell you about my sister Aimee, who was my trail partner for the last 2 weeks. When you hug Aimee, you immediately notice how strong and lean she is, thanks to a lifetime of healthy eating and exercise. She’s not afraid of any hill, preferring to take her breaks at the TOP of the hill after she’s pushed forward. Spend any amount of time with her, though, and you learn how soft and sweet she is. She looks out for other people, offering her food, her equipment, a beer, a kind word or a hug if she thinks it will help. She also doesn’t suffer fools, and I love that toughness about her.

Aimee has always sworn she didn’t like backpacking, but she took on the challenge of 100 plus miles with relish, braving privies, tent set-up in the rain, filtering water, sleeping and eating near perfect strangers. She joyfully shared her knowledge of flora and fauna — and mixed up delicious camp meals with vegetables — making my experience so much more.

Our two weeks together went too fast for me, though I bet Aimee was glad to get home to her hot tub. We had so much fun and worked so well together. I miss her tremendously. Typical Aimee, she left me her better sleeping mat and bag and treats in my food barrel ❤️

Aimee ends her day identifying three things she’s grateful. I am going to try to adopt that practice. Today it’s easy: Aimee, Aimee, Aimee.Baca selengkapnya

Day 3 Dahlgren to Pogo
17 April 2024, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
Another beautiful day on the AT. The trail continues to be varied — today, we had sun and rain (more expected tonight while we sleep); walked through woods with wildflowers and birds and took a footbridge over I- 70. We also saw the country’s first Washington monument. The spot happens to be on the raptor migratory path; unfortunately today’s weather was too wet to see any.Baca selengkapnya

Day 2 Crampton Gap - Dahlgren campground
16 April 2024, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
A mistake in planning turned into an unexpected night at backpacker paradise with clean water, free hot showers, trash cans and pizza. It was a beautiful day; Aimee spotted a lady slipper orchid and a hawk taking off right in front of us. It’s not even 7 pm and I am headed to bed — a very nice kind of tired.Baca selengkapnya

Day 1 - Harpers Ferry to Crampton Gap
15 April 2024, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F
Our first day on the trail had several variations— super flat on the C&O bike trail then uphill to cliffs; both sunny and blue skies and thunder and lightening. Luckily we were at the luxury Ed Garvey shelter, eating delicious sandwiches, when the rains first started. It was a long, tiring day but we did well, met some nice folks, saw some beautiful wildflowers, learned some Civil War facts, and ate great food. Time for rest now in our tents.Baca selengkapnya

Big Slackwater
23 November 2017, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C
Ich folge weiter den unendlichen Schleifen des Potomac flußabwärts. Das Wetter ist kalt im Schatten der Hänge, aber angenehm in der Sonne.
Das Big Slackwater ist eine Staustufe. Die Felsen am Ufer sind hier so steil, daß kein Platz für den Kanal blieb. Selbst der Treidelpfad für die Maultiere verläuft stellenweise auf einem Steg, der an die Felsen geheftet ist.Baca selengkapnya

Rocky Run Shelters 1039.1
6 Juli 2017, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
The post office with my delivery opened at 8 but I slept in and arrived there at about 9 just to be told that they don't have any package. So I checked the tracking and it said that the package was undeliverable because the address could not be found... Apparently that wasn't a problem for the first package. I canceled the order by mail and hope that it will be fine then... Seems like Amazon over here is not as reliable as in Germany.
I got a coffee and a bear claw (sweet bread filled with cinnamon stuff) and we enjoyed breakfast together. At about 10:30 we went on the trail to finally make some miles again and we enjoyed it. Even though it was raining heavily almost all day. But that just means that it's less humid and the bugs don't bother you. So we like the rain usually...

We arrived earlier than expected at the Shelter and had some time to relax.Baca selengkapnya

Wild Camping at Shenandoah River 1024.7
5 Juli 2017, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
At night we encountered that the train was supposed to leave at 5 PM and not 5 AM like we were told. So we checked on other possibilities and learned that we should better check on things ourselves. There were no other options so we tried to get some sleep at the station which didn't work because the policemen checked like every hour if we had a valid ticket and at 5 they said that we were not allowed to lay down anymore...
With just that few hours of sleep we didn't get moving and had some lazy time around the station. Another episode in the #hoboorhiker game: I've been offered food twice and one man asked if I need a job for the day. Some people threw coins to Jon and homeless started bonding with us. On the train back to Harper's Ferry another thru hiker told us that thru hiking is just the preparation for becoming homeless.

We were glad when we came back to Harper's Ferry and then back on the trail even though it was just for a mile. We were both tired and I expected a shipment by Amazon that I could pick up the other day. After a quick dinner we felt asleep already around 8 to a light rain on our tent. The tent was directly at the Shenandoah River, beautiful spot but a bit dirty.Baca selengkapnya

Harpers Ferry 1023.7
3 Juli 2017, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
On the way to our personal goal we started early and super motivated to Harper's Ferry. The first part was quite an easy hike and we moved pretty quickly. After the breakfast we got slower because Julia's knee started to hurt with every step. And the last part before Harper's Ferry went over the Shenandoah River along a highway which was extremely humid and loud. As we arrived at the Appalachian Trail Headquarters I finally got my thru hiker hangtag :) And we registered ourselves to the official book of the thru hikers. We raided the hiker box there for a pack of Ramen Soup and then enjoyed a coffee and achieving our goal. I quickly went to the post office as our trail angel Sketch had sent us a care package with Elevation bars :)
Outside of the headquarters we met a nice guy named Corn Chips. We chatted a bit about the trail and the challenges we've already overcome. He offered us to stay with him in the Town's Inn as he rented a room there with several beds. We gladly accepted the offer because we didn't have any place to stay yet and the hostel is about five miles away the center. He told us a bit about his volunteer work as a fire fighter and medic.
After a small lunch we relaxed at the hotel, washed our clothes and sorted our stuff. We went to a restaurant in the evening with Corn Chips and Honeybadger but after two burgers I was still hungry, so we walked about two miles to a 7/11 and got us some treats :)Baca selengkapnya
