Day 74
Mal wieder ein Obdachloser..
April 14 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Immer wieder führt der AT neben herrlicher Landschaft durch die Geschichte der USA. So auch heute.

Morgens ging es durch die Ruinen des Bürgerkrieges. Schon beeindruckend zu sehen, wie sehr sich die Geschichte wiederholt. Schon damals wurden Epidemien mit Impfzentren bekämpft. Dieses Impfzentrum erstreckte sich kilometerweit. Zumindest sind wir den halben morgen durch die Ruinen gelaufen, bis wir an einem überfluteten Tal angekommen sind... Da hat wohl wieder ein Biber sein Unwesen getrieben. 😊🦫

Abends sind wir entlang einer Gewitterfront bis zum RPH gewandert, wo ein weiterer Obdachloser auf uns wartete. Wie immer konnte er uns mit seinen Wandergeschichten und „Wander-Fachsprache“ nicht überzeugen. Sein Gestank war dermaßen heftig und eklig, dass wir in dieser wunderbaren Behausungen die Tür offenlassen mussten, um für frische Luft zu sorgen. Außerdem hatte einen Koffer mit Riemen als Rucksack. Als ob jemand mit einem Koffer den AT wandert?! 😂😂

Da es mittlerweile spät war und Jochen nach deutscher Zeit Geburtstag hatte, ließen wir den Abend gemütlich mit einer riesigen Pizza ausklingen.Read more

Ob sich die andere Wandernden wohl auch fragen, ob ihr Obdachlose seid, wenn ihr abends ins Shelter kommt :D #Patrickdustinkst [Anonym :D]

Day 6
Start aus New York
May 8, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Heute bin ich ca um 8 Uhr bei Isaac gestartet. Er hat mir gestern noch erzählt dass er in drei Wochen beim TranBalkanRace mitfährt und sich schon Monate darauf vorbereitet. So sah auch seine Wohnung aus. Überall Fahrräder und Equipment. Er hat mir noch einen Kettennieter und einen kleinen Stecker zur Überprüfung der Ladeleistung Geschenk.
Dann ging es durch die Bronx aus New York raus. Nach 20 km bin ich dann auf dem Empire State Trial gewesen und ab hier war die Strecke super. Wenige Straßenkreuzungen und guter Untergrund. Zwischendurch hat mich Mr. Feuer eingeholt. Er hat mich 10km begleitet, seine Standardrunde. Findet es in Berlin die ganzen Museen und dass die Leute an roten Ampel warten cool. War Zahnarzt und ist sehr zufrieden mit seinen Hörgeräten. Die 10km vergingen wie im Fluge. Zwischendurch habe ich noch aus versehen destilliertes Wasser gekauft, konnte die Gallone aber noch in normales Wasser umtauschen. Jetzt bin ich bei Stephen und seiner Familie angekommen. Es gab lecker Pizza aus dem selbstgebauten Pizzaofen. Gleich schlafe ich die erste Nacht in meinem neuen Zelt. Danke für das Abschiedsgeschenk 🫶🏻Read more

Day 6
On my way to NYC
October 5, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Without breakfast, I left at 9 a.m. for New York City. A good hour through the foggy Hudson River Valley. Over the mountains to the left and right of the Hudson I drove in serpentines through dense fog. Traffic was no problem, I think it was good to drive a little later to avoid the morning commuter traffic. Unfortunately there was only once the possibility to park. I would have liked to make a full stop on so many bridges or on so many hilltops for a photo.

Ohne Frühstück ging es um 9 Uhr los Richtung New York City. Eine gute Stunde durch das vernebelt Hudson River Valley. Über de Berge links und rechts vom Hudson ging es in Serpentinen durch dichten Nebel. Der Verkehr war kein Problem, ich glaube es war gut etwas später zu fahren um nicht in den morgendlichen Pendlerverkehr zu geraten. Leider gab es nur einmal die Möglichkeit zu parken. Ich hätte gerne auf so mancher Brücke oder auf so mancher Bergkuppe eine Vollbremsung gemacht für ein Foto.Read more

Day 1 in Cold Spring
March 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 2 °C
After our first night staying at a lovely AirBNB home, we have walked around lovely Cold Spring. It is cold and there is evidence of snow but clear, sunny and very, very pretty. We are having fun as a family. Done some shopping, had lovely apple pie and coffees. Gradually catching up on sleep.Read more

Beacon
March 25, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
OH MY DIA!
This morning Craig and I did an early, little shop at the Food Works and Drug World. We were all pretty excited when it started to snow. Only flurries - but wow.
Then we set out for Beacon. It is another town about 15 minutes north from Cold Spring, which was recommended by one of the shop owners here to Josy & Louise. The town looked pretty on the Internet and it has the Dia Beacon art gallery – recommended by Thelma. Well, Beacon was closed and quite boring looking! We took ages to find a place for coffee and eventually decided on Big Mouth Cafe as recommended by a local. Coffee was best so far – although overall it has been pretty bad in USA. AFTER THIS and a look over the Hudson River, we drove to the Dia gallery. What an interesting and challenging place! It was mainly installations in big rooms – like the Guggenheim in Bilbao but different. It had some similar pieces like the Richard Senna giant steel structures you can walk through. Some new amazing halls of the red and white ‘roadways’ – all mathematically calculated. My favourite I believe was ‘TRIBUTE TO THE SQUARE” where various rooms of white gauze-like walls had lights and openings which made you feel like you were in and out of a mirror – fascinating. Some were strange but overall it was most enjoyable. Nicholas pretended to be bored, Tony was hilarious. We went back to Cold Spring and had an enjoyable lunch of seafood chowder, salad, burgers etc. We really like this village.Read more

Day 4
MAHOPAC
March 24, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
Big Party Day today!! We slept in a little and eventually set off in the big limousine for the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac. It was a lovely, scenic drive with lots of snow still around. It was a lovely venue and there were lots of people present to celebrate Zia Rosina’s 100th party. Great food – just like an Italian wedding! There was an entertaining band and loads of dancing. We met Patinella’s little brother and Zia Viola’s brother and Zio Ernesto’s sister. They all loved us and we were ‘entertainment’ for the locals. Zia Rosina managed to sing and also do quite a bit of dancing – amazingly!! We sat altogether with Tonino & Antonetta plus Libera & Silvano plus Lina and Tony Barone. They are going back to Italy tomorrow. So it was quite and emotional goodbye. Back home and relaxing, planning, contacting home etc. Unfortunately, Louise slipped down the stairs!! Okay so far.Read more

I just downloaded alltrails and found this hike. It was my first time climbing up the mountain. I didn't make it all the way to the top, because I couldn't find my way up. 700 feet is still a good distance up in the air. Pretty view.Read more

I went looking for another trail to hike and came across this pool. Yes it was closed, but it was so hot out and no one was around. I jumped over the fence and cooled off. Very relaxing and of coarse I'm always pool/beach ready. I headed into town and checked out the quaint neighborhood.Read more
