@endo:

And meeting @neph93 was certainly cherry on the cake.

Steady…

Ahem… I think we all know I’m an absolute dream [emoji1]

We finally made it, continental Europe‘s most northern point.
Got to turn around now …

Been,really,enjoying all of this. Living vicariously through you.

[Chap]

Wow that’s awesome… how many km‘s do you drive per day?

[endo]

Thanks guys, I‘m glad you‘re enjoying this. We‘ve been driving 3500km within the last 12 days, 3000km on norwegian country roads. Now we‘re heading for Finland.

A last night at the arctic ocean (Barents sea to be precise).

Cheers, buddy.

I asked Hot Ingrid if we could open the box you generously gifted her last night… but she wants to save it for a warm evening… so next year sometime [emoji28]

But look, if your wife wants to save a 5l box of wine for a warm evening with you … that doesn‘t sound too bad. You sould be patient.

I like the way your thinking!

Hiking topic + boxed wine recalls a hiking and camping ProTip: you can take the bag out of the boxed wine container and pack it in more easily than boxes and bottles. Really efficient way to reduce the waste you pack out.

We've been in Sun Valley, Idaho for the past week. We did a number of hikes, the most ambitious of which was summiting mount Hyndman. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.

The following pics are from a hike to Boulder City, which was a galena mining outpost that apparently closed in 1893.

That’s a neat old hat. Any details?

[AdamC]

Love the pics @JDelage , looks fantastic!

[JDelage]

The hat is a Freewheelers' Smokey Bear.

Thoroughly enjoyable it was too. Almost cinematic quality to those shots.

[JDelage]

Yes, I was impressed by how well the iPhone did.

[Fadez]

Great photos [mention]JDelage [/mention] ! Thanks for taking us along

My little one got a bit homesick, so we basically rushed through Finland.

Also beautiful, VERY many forests and lakes, great people (exhibit A: all films by Aki Kaurismäki)

lots of Rudolphs crossing

And everywhere (also in Norway) this beautiful plant. Does anyone know its name?

Now we are crossing the Baltic sea on a ferry (Naantali to Kapellskär) through the 10000 or so skerries. Reminds me of Saltkråkan.
