Big Bear!

So we have made it over 250 miles!! Pretty amazing when I think about it.....kind of crazy we have walked that far. It has been great thus far. I am loving it. Though we are about to go into the really hot desert section so...But here are some photos from this last bit

Our very dirty clothes. We had to fill the tub like 4 times to get the water to not get to that dark brown color. Amazing how dirty things get in the desert

Photobucket
And I did not realize we had to watch out for....

Killer Trees!!!

We woke up one morning in the clouds. So we packed up and started walking and we got to this boulder field that was amazing! The clouds were rolling in and then they would start to retreat and then come in again....we sat and ate breakfast there. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip thus far as it was gorgeous!

Photobucket
It was amazing. The ground was just like one big rock with boulders on it. Absolutely gorgeous!

Photobucket
I also didn't realize I had to watch out for cheerleaders.....

Photobucket
And squirrels.....there are so many dangers out there I never thought about before we left :)

Photobucket
Outside of Idyllwild we ran into our first snow...but Raymond took care of that :)

Photobucket
It is a hard hard life we have out on the trail....

Photobucket
Raymond's backpack is a magnet for small birds...when we stop to take a break they flock

Photobucket
More snow in the San Jacinto Wilderness

The first night out of Idyllwild we camped on Fuller Ridge above the clouds. It was gorgeous!

Above the clouds. It was awesome

We are sooo dirty. And walking through Mesa wind farm

Photobucket
Whitewater canyon was gorgeous as well. Lots of water flowing with tadpoles in it.

Photobucket
Cooling off in Mission Creek (our hottest day we have had thus far. The water was sooo cold and felt sooo good)

Photobucket
There are a lot of burned areas with cool burned trees

Photobucket
Mission Creek Canyon was super hot....but had a ton of beautiful flowers. The walls of the canyon were covered with purple flowers. It was awesome

We got to Big Bear this morning and had a HUGE breakfast. It was so good.

We are in Big Bear now and it seems like we should be able to upload our audio tonight so it should be up shortly! And we are heading out tomorrow afternoon. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Campervan Adventures in Bavaria: Eibsee & Bremsee & Fungi

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee. 

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
