Four days of adventure in the mountains north of Taos in the Columbine Hondo Wilderness: avoiding thunder and hail, huffing and puffing up the mountain at snails speed postholing through lots of snow like going crazy on the stairmaster after sinking in knee deep with all my weight on...

So...on my last section from Cuba to Ghost Ranch I knew that I was having enough time - it was only about 90 km and I calculated that I would take about five days if I didn't want to push myself again as I did on the last section. Knowing I would have time to … Survival challenge weiterlesen
Cuba to Ghost Ranch - only about 90 km but this time I slowed down and gave myself 5 days for the distance. Which meant I got to really enjoy the landscape. And it felt like that although it was a relatively short section that each day had its very own feature. I walked through … Cuba to Ghost Ranch – Swimming weiterlesen
Who knows this plant? It started growing somewhere above 2500 m. I have seen smaller and larger ones.
