Weekend Hike

Yesterday, I drove over an hour to Dayton, Tennessee, where I enjoyed the day hiking along the Laurel-Snow Trail. I also climbed a small mountain to explore Paine Creek Falls, traversed dry riverbeds of Richland and Morgan Creeks, and observed historic remnants of a mining operation which closed 120 years ago.

In the days ahead, I’ll share more photographs from my adventure…

Thanks for stopping by!

        I also like hiking, there are wonderful opportunities here in Germany. So we were at the North Sea for a few days and enjoyed the hikes on the beach.
        Best regards

            The North Sea is fantastic, wild and pristine and the Wadden Sea Nature Park is very mysterious.
            Have a wonderful weekend too
