      Prescott, AZ

      15 mai, États Unis ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      Hey everyone!

      We’ve reached “the promised land” for more climbing adventures, and it's such a cool place! Theo had the bright idea to bike to the starting point of "The Crack," but his bike got a flat tire from a cactus. We ended up sharing my bike, which made for a rather romantic ride with me sitting on the steering wheel—if only it wasn’t so rocky! We rode through beautiful red poppy fields before moving on to Prescott.

      Prescott National Forest is fantastic for mountain biking. We started our ride at 5:30 AM to beat the heat. We took on the "Willy Nilly Tractor Trek"—such a cute name, my nephew would have loved it! It was thrilling to ride between rocks and pine trees, though we had to watch out for cacti. I noticed many mountain bikers, though it seems the girls here are more into horses! 😂 The terrain is fascinating, with dead and dying trees amidst fragrant pines and junipers, granite rocks, and patches of desert sand and cacti. It’s just like my childhood drawings that adults said were impossible. Now I see that anything is possible!

      We also visited Jerome, which is a historic copper mining town. Jerome began its association with the arts when the Verde Valley Art Association was started in the early 1950s and the town today continues to be known for its vibrant and varied art scene. Hippies were attracted to the cheap land and settled there in the late 60's, early 70's. The town is known as a haunted town. It was almost destroyed in 1890's by the big fires.
      We went to the State Historic Park and saw the Audrey Headframe shaft, which is 1900 feet deep—double the height of the Eiffel Tower! Quite impressive.

      On a different note, I’m starting to miss our delicious European bread with whole wheat, grains, and kernels. Here, it’s all sweet stuff and baguettes. I could make a fortune opening a bakery! Grama's Bakery in Prescott is rated the best in town, but they don’t have any whole wheat bread. Next door was a “barkery” with gourmet dog food. What a world! I even saw a man pushing his dog in a trolley—maybe we’re in the wrong city or should have been born pets. 😅

      In the late afternoon, I tackled the Lower Granite Creek Discovery Trail, which circles Watson Lake and connects to the Prescott Peavine National Recreation Trail. It’s open to bikers, runners, equestrians, and mountain bikers.

      America really rocks! Can't wait to share more stories with you all.

      Cheers!

    • Jour 164

      Hitze

      14 juin 2023, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Den Anfang machte heute eine Wanderung um den Courthouse Butte, und auch der Bell Rock war eine schau.

      Generell hat man hier irgendwie überall die spektakulärsten Ausblicke.

      Von der Wanderung durchgeschwitzt, hab ich die Abkühlung im Beaver Creek sehr genossen.

      Eigentlich wollte ich mir noch ein paar historische Gebäude ansehen, aber es blieb dann nur beim Montezuma Castle. Dessen spanische Entdecker dachten aztekische Ruinen vor sich zu haben. Auch hier waren es indianische Ureinwohner.

      Gebaut um 1200 herum, als auch Notre Dam fertiggestellt wurde. Schon interessant was hier, trotz fehlender Gerätschaften wie in Europa dennoch geschaffen wurde.

      Und statt noch mehr Historie, gabs noch mehr Abkühlung, dieses Mal im Oak Creek, wunderschöner Blick auf den Cathedral Rock am späten Nachmittag mit inbegriffen.

      Sedona, Flagstaff, AZ

      16 mai, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

      Hey friends!

      I have to tell you about my incredible trip to Sedona! The place is breathtaking with its stunning white limestone and vibrant red iron formations. We spent a lot of time mountain biking in the Coconino National Forest, which was both exhilarating and challenging. It demands serious strength, balance, and coordination. I was completely wiped out after our rides!

      We also visited Red Canyon, a fascinating cultural site. There's a story of a man who homesteaded there for about 20 years, cultivating pecan, walnut, and persimmon trees. Another highlight was hiking to a vortex energy spot, considered holy, with spectacular views.

      In the late '60s and early '70s, hippies, artists, and renegades moved to Jerome, AZ, drawn by cheap land and the mystical vortex energy of the holy rocks.

      Sedona is known for its sacred red sandstone formations, believed to contain concentrated energy and electromagnetic intersections. Specific locations where people feel the energy intensely include Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Boynton Canyon. The red-orange rock color is highly stimulating, contributing to Sedona's unique energy and its regenerative effects.

      My bike's suspension broke, but it gave me a chance to relax at a cool bike café. Meanwhile, Theo tackled the difficult "Cathedral" MTB trek. Yesterday, I nearly peed my pants riding down Mescal with its slick rock, cacti on one side, and a steep drop on the other. But the views were worth every bit of the adrenaline rush. We hiked up the cathedral in the evening to catch the beautiful sunset. On the way up, I climbed a rock, and someone called me brave. I just thought, "piece of cake."

      We did a multi-pitch climb at Wilson Canyon and enjoyed an amazing view of Old Creek Canyon. The weather is nice and breezy. We also did some cool climbs in Sandy's Canyon at the Pit climbing area. There's a ton of climbing around Flagstaff, the epicenter of the Northern Arizona scene. Just a couple of miles west is The Pit, a.k.a. Le Petit Verdon, Arizona's first venture into sport climbing in the '80s.

      Next, we want to see the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley before leaving Arizona. Think this is a must.

      Enjoy the pics & Talk to you soon 😊

      NY ✈️ Phoenix 🚘 Sedona

      24 juillet 2022, États Unis ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

      Vandaag was transit day.
      Eerst snel ontbijten in het hotel, daarna de taxi in, om naar de luchthaven te gaan. Na een klein uur vertraging gingen we de lucht in voor 5u. En we werden verrast door een persoonlijke welkomstgroet!
      Het was lang wachten op de bagage, maar we klagen niet want, jawel, alle 4 de bagages zijn weer toegekomen 😉
      Daarna minivan uitgekozen, die een halfuur later vol zat met spullen van de Walmart, en dan richting Sedona. In het begin stonden honderden cactussen in 'the picture'. Naarmate we het hotel naderden, verschenen de rode rotsen.
      Na eventjes rusten aan het zwembad begon het te regenen, dus hebben we maar in het 1ste restaurant/take away die we tegenkwamen iets gegeten.

      Subway cave

      13 mars 2023, États Unis

      🇨🇭: uuuuuund hüt gömmer wieder gewandere :D üses Ziel Subway caves!
      Aber befor meh det ahne chunt muess meh es chlises stückli laufe. Zudem is ehn chli versteckte Platz, de findsch ned eifach so. Isch au nüt beschriftet det ahne😅
      Tönt doof aber meh muess tatsächli an nem gewüsse Baum rechts, zu nem andere Weg abüge das meh det ahne chunt.🌳 sus findsch es ned. Aber wenns den gfunde hesch derfsch zerst mol chli chlettere, gar ned ohni zum det ufe cho, aber es lohnt sich😍😍 au wenn de Felsvorsprung sehr knapp isch hahaha aber die Ussicht isch halt eifach mega. Meh chan nochane nähmli au no, bide recht site um de ecke det und witterlaufe zu nem andere Spot. Isch ned Schwindelfrei det obe. De abstieg goht eifacher wenn meh um d’site chletteret. Unterwegs no zwei Männer kenneglernt mega liebi gsi, denn sinmer als Gruppe wieder zrugg glofe🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻

      🇺🇸: aaaaaand today we are going hiking again :D Our goal the subway caves!
      Befor you have to walk 30-40min. Its a secret spot you can’t find them easy. No signs where you show the way. 😅 maybe it sounds stupid, but you have to turn right at a certain tree🌳otherwise you can’t find the spot. When you find the right way, you have to climb a part of it. And its not that easy, but it's worth it😍😍 the view is amazing!!
      only the ledge is very narrow, you really have to be careful. You also can go on the right narrow and go around, you can walk a some nice step to another spot. you really have to be free from giddiness up there. The way down from the otherside is more easier then the way to get up there. On the way we meet two mens, and for the way back we are a nice group of travellers. It was nice to talk with them🚶🏻🚶🏻‍♀️😊

      Querfeldein in Sedona

      2 septembre 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      Sedona ist bekannt als das Beverly Hills in den Bergen und Zentrum der New Age Bewegung, da die Berge in der Umgebung angeblich spirituelle Kraft besitzen sollen.

      Wir setzen heute weniger auf spiritueller Kraft, sondern auf sprituelle Kraft 😀! Wir liehen uns für 3 Stunden ein ATV und sind damit quer durch die Wüste geheizt. Hat allen einen Heidenspass gemacht (dem Fahrer wohl am meisten 😉). Höllenlärm aber ne Riesengaudi war’s!En savoir plus

    • Jour 54

      Hotel - Twin Arrows casino

      22 octobre 2022, États Unis ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

      Whilst driving from Page, AZ to Flagstaff it was a case of non stop wind. So we decided that it'd be best to stay in a hotel rather than in the tent tonight.

      This hotel/casino still requires masks (first place we've had to wear masks since we started our trip) but the sound from inside our room of the wind beating against the windows tells us we made the right choice staying here. Maybe we should have taken a ground floor room instead of the top floor to avoid the wind a bit more!En savoir plus

    • Jour 10

      1. Unitag

      29 août 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Der erste Unitag war top! Um 9 Uhr Professional Selling wo wir mehrmals im Semester üben ein Produkt zu verkaufen. Um 12 Uhr Human Resource Management und 17.30 Uhr International Management.
      Das Uni-System ist viel arbeitsintensiver mit mehreren Klausuren unter dem Semester je Kurs aber dafür vom Niveau her niedriger. Außerdem bringt man sich viel bei Diskussionen ein. 🗣 Die Profs haben meist Praxiserfahrung und einer hat sogar schon für Disney und Sony gearbeitet und sein Startup verkauft was jetzt Google Earth ist. 😱🌎 Bei dem müssen wir auch viele Präsentationen halten und z.B. CVs schreiben und er bewertet unser LinkedIn Profil auf Note. Einfach cool, wieviel mehr man hier mitnimmt und wie die Profs einem auch helfen wollen, gute Noten zu erreichen und im Job erfolgreich zu sein! 🤓

      Dann haben wir noch einen Trip nach LA gebucht - seid gespannt! 😇
