touring Norway with your dog, that must be heaven

[emceeQ]

@endo, just went a ways back in the thread and caught up on your trip.  Absolutely epic!

Here are some snaps from some recent travels around the Great Lakes (Ontario, Michigan and Superior to be specific)…

REALLY beautifull @emceeQ (I love all outdoors), thanks for sharing.
And, it's good to stay off bluffs, by all means.

Last day of our trip through the Baviran part of the Rhoen, we hiked around the mountain Kreuzberg (900m).
Not the center of the Dark Sky Reserve Rhoen, but we expected to see some stars without rain there ….

Litter and meagre meadows on 900m

Bed

… it definitely was a nice bed @Giles  .

Temperature went down from 19C to 10C.
There was always a small breath uphill, followed next morning by a cloud cover.
Normally I stuff the backpack into the Bivicover from MacPac, which is long enough for rough situations, but it was not necessary this time….

Highlight was the tree I was sleeping under! Always acting to the weather and making a beautiful noise!

Rest of the story here. MRMF

Skagen, Denmark

Not quite the same as Norway is it [emoji1] flat as a pancake.

All of this looks beautiful to me.

We were supposed to go to Barcelona in February, but COVID fekked that up. I am longing to visit Europe. I've only been to England and the Netherlands so far, and my wife to Italy, and each of us love to travel. We are hoping to tour the Adriatic later this year and I am hoping to make it to this elite resort paradise I heard about (Gosport) as well.

Saw some moose out in Breck over the holidays. Colorado is reintroducing wolves, so ungulates that we see all over the place (elk, moose, and deer–I think I have seen more elk than deer) may be culled in the coming years.

I voted in favor of it. The opposition to these initiatives in the Western states is mainly based on ranchers severely exaggerating the threat to their herds.

And a bull:

There is a vitriloic debate regarding wolves in Norway. The farmers want them all dead. Idiots.
