Bisenthaler Becken Hike Jan 2024

For my birthday this year I didn't really feel like planning anything so we went back up to Bisenthaler Becken to hike around a different area than we have in the past. We love this area and this was a perfect day for hiking! We parked in Lobetal and first wandered around Mechensee

Which is hard to tell as there is water on top, but the lake was frozen! Raymond commented that he thought it was and I was like I don't know is it? Then we saw some people walking on so yes, yes it was! We had had a lot of cold and snow the week prior, but that was all gone in Berlin, but it was so nice it was still frozen fun here!

And there was still snow on the ground!







We got to this part and I was like okay, that is a big puddle how to get across without getting my shoes soaking wet and again Raymond was like it is ice!

It looked like water though! So this was pretty fun



The ice in the tire tracks was also super cool - the darker spots are where the ice is and the lighter spots were frozen over where the air was. 


Like just bands of ice which was cool

A small outdoor church, but not in use in winter


We love this area already, but this was so much fun! All the snow, all the cool ice, all the things!

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
