RELATED TO OUR
In our family, Monica and David, we spend in Maple Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver, some 60 km from the city center, a social weekend. You live in a pretty little house, surrounded by trees and shrubs and flowers that grow without significant intervention. There is practically no pests, and pour you rarely have to. Esther is very excited, not least because of the incredible number of berries that grow wild throughout the area. It would be in their collective zeal a threatening competitor for the bears! We owe it the way that have bears in the Engadine no livelihood.
There's Father's Day on Sunday and our welcome, Monika invited guests: the parents of David, his brothers and sisters Hazel and Jim with spouse, his friend Ken with spouse, their son Mischo with girlfriend and her two children. David perfectly grilled and Monika has prepared delicious dips and salads. Even Esther eats a steak. We sit outside in the sun.
We spend the night in the RV on the forecourt of the house and halfway under the branches of a maple.

Almost every hour a train goes by, ie one Freight train, pulled by two 12,000-horsepower diesel locomotives and pushed by a third, between about 100 wagons with two floors of containers. The roar of the locomotives bring our RV to vibrate, and the old bumpy wagons make him tremble, and we experience an earthquake of medium intensity. For this, it does give a warning about five minutes. From a distance, that is a beautiful three-tone horn is heard, which is increasing but so that we will soon have to keep one's ears. The horn will sound ¬ in a volume that brings us an IV suspected hearing loss. Urs is glad he no longer listens so well.

A LESSON IN HISTORY
On Monday, 19.6. Peel us our RV with two screens from the maple tree and drive on, first on the # 7, then on the TCH 1 (Trans Canada Highway) to the Fraser River in an incredibly broad river valley with numerous tributaries, deep blue lakes, lush green meadows , forests in all shades of green. On either side rise wooded hills. In the hills there is still lots of snow. At Yale, the river valley narrows. The once booming town of fur traders and later the gold rush, is today an insignificant village with a dozen houses have become. Precisely why we visit the small museum, which is shown to us by an old, very friendly man. He informed us in detail about the history of the place. Who is not interested in history, read the next chapter!
Simon Fraser came as the head of a 21-strong expedition was the first white in the spring of 1808, led by Indians from the north here. He was commissioned by the North West Company, a way to the Pacific. Severely disappointed, he returned when he was not as hoped on the Colorado River to the Pacific arrived, but just on this river, which was later given his name, to Fort George (now Prince George) back.
Of 1848, the Hudson Bay Companies (HBC), the Fort Yale as a fur trader station. Despite the warnings, the Frasers HBC tried by the Fraser Canyon to create a connection between the interior and the coast of British Columbia. As always pack animals perished in the canyon, the Fort Yale was closed.
1858 Yale found below on both banks of the river of gold. Within weeks came 30,000 miners, mainly people who had been disappointed in the Gold Rush in 1849 in California, here from Yale, and made a rough, booming city which represented a real threat to the British.
1862-1864 was the Royal Engineers, a corps of soldiers, known as sappers, the famous Cariboo Wagon Road from Yale to Barkerville built, a feat that was called the eighth world wonder. It is over 600 km long. On their trail we'll ride the next day.
began in 1880, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) with the construction of the trail Port Moody - Kamloops. Base of operations of the engineer Andrew Onderdonk was Yale. With 30,000 workers - including 6,500 Chinese who had to work at half pay - within four and a half years, the line with 27 tunnels and 600 bridges and trestles' completed. There were many deaths, especially among the Chinese, three Chinese per mile paid with their lives. 1911-1914
built then the Canadian National Railway (CNR) on the other side of the river, a new Line. Both are used today, in my experience the left for the descent, the right for the ascent.
Then we drive along the Fraser River and visit the old Alexandra Bridge to which one descends from the parking lot of the TCH on the old Cariboo Wagon Road. We have to cross the tracks of the PCR. Boards warning of the trains, which is not necessary. You hear them for miles in advance! The suspension bridge was swept away by floods in 1926 and created for the Fraser Canyon Highway new to the automotive market. Since 1962, when the TCH was built, it is no longer used.
The Hell's Gate, so named by Simon Fraser, the bridges over here on 26/06/1808 and leaders passed by, a cable car down to the other river bank.
We choose the sporty variant and walk the 170 meters on a small routes down and the small suspension bridge over the restaurant where we ordered a fine, huge Caesar salad with smoked salmon. The river is just 34 m wide, but (now) 45 m deep! flow up to 15 million liters of water per second. For the salmon - it should during the campaign salmon swimming up to 350,000 per day - a complex fish ladder was built, enabling the fish to swim up at any water level. This measure was necessary to become ¬, when a rock fall during construction narrowing of the railway in 1914 the canyon and had blocked the fish the way to their spawning grounds. In Lytton
we see the confluence of the Fraser River and Thompson River - the first out brown water, the other crystal clear. Both rivers have their source in the immediate neighborhood near Jasper. The 1360 km with much longer Fraser River flows from there first to the northwest, then west and south from Prince George.
will then move along the Thompson River is fantastic. The wide band of clear, because many small rapids gushing water - a paradise for river rafting - is lined on both sides of a railway line. We travel times on the left, sometimes on the right. The climate has changed greatly from Lytton: It is dry and warm, even in Lytton 26 °! The mountains have sparse pines, most of them are sick, the ground is bare, eroding the rocky river bank. By 18 clock we are before Clinton. The small, clean private Pine Campground Clinton like that. We have everything, even wood for a Camp Fire is available in abundance! So we kindle a fire in the evening as on 1 August and soak up some warmth for the night. We are glad that we are far away from a railway line - we think. In the evening we hear our Plaggeist, the CPR, but he is far away!
THE GREAT FOREST DIE
learn on Wednesday we are the cause of the diseased pines.
A only last year established by the roadside information board deals with the issue Föhrensterben. The mountain pine beetle (a kind Föhrenborkenkäfer) came over the last few years more than 7 million hectares of pine forest (lodgepole pine tree). The past few winters were too warm, so that 80% instead of 10% of larvae survived the winter. The beetle is indeed part of the ecosystem: it usually affects mature trees and promotes the growth of young shoots. Now he also has healthy trees infested, you must make early on. Reforestation requires a great effort.
are still way two thirds of the 944'735 km2 province of British Columbia (larger than France and Germany) covered by forest, 25% are pines.
IN GOLDWAESCHERN
Barkerville is the northern end of the Cariboo Wagon Road, named after Billy Barker who discovered here in 1862 to a rich vein of gold, which triggered the Cariboo Gold Rush.
Barkerville was the largest city 'west of Chicago and north of San Francisco. For two days we saw on the roadside again evidence that this Ghost Town Sightseeing # one of the BC. So we want to visit them. And we will not be disappointed! Already on the journey we marvel at the incredible fields of daisies, the roadside in bright red Indian Paint Brush flowers and deep blue lupines. A real beauty.
Barkerville itself is a living museum. 130 houses have been rebuilt, some of which we can visit and learn a lot about the lifestyle of that time.
We participate in a lesson, watch the farrier at work, a homemaker seen on the old wood stove to cook, listen to a woman about the outrageous food prices, complain, etc. On a hike through the surrounding area we found, fortunately, a gold nugget. come this way to unimaginable wealth, we change our itinerary: We will sail on his return from Alaska from Skagway by boat to the beautiful, the northern part of the Inside Passage and will then consider whether we use the proceeds of the gold nugget but we do not buy a beautiful log cabin in northern BC. In any case, we will keep the readers informed.

Legs Hurt After Wearing Heels
Vancouver Iceland
It is finally ready: We are in Vancouver for our cousin and have at their access to the Internet, so we can report back from our trip.
First impressions of Canada
In Washington, we instead drove on Interstate 5 through Seattle on the scenic # 101 of the east side of the
Oympic National Parks along adhered to the ferry from Townsend to Keystone and then from Anacortes to Sidney (Vancouver Iceland). (. The card next door is the route this time, blue, marked the ferry route yellow Double-she can be enlarged.) One week we spent on the west coast of the island (Pacific Rim National Park) in the rain forest, which made its name: Sometimes some sunshine, especially in the morning, but then rain and again rain. That has to be ultimately, if the annual target of 400 cm of rainfall to be met. The discs start to run and we heat, not because it is cool, but to expel the moisture. Now we yearn
us a little bit back to the sun and the heat of the South, the attentive and careful driving Oregon - our dear Canadian friends like us that remark forgive - the consistently excellent information, the competent and willing information, the embarrassing Clean and quiet of the campgrounds, etc. have to revise our budget, we Camp Grounds and food, mail and phone are more expensive gasoline to 30% in the U.S.. That the summer weather has not arrived, but we give the Canadians, however, no debt, and all known and friendly Canadians are so fond of how the Oregon! And we are sure that we revise up our arrival in Alaska, our first impressions of Canada nor have. A positive first impression: there are farmers' markets, where we can buy fresh vegetables and salad of excellent quality and surprisingly affordable prices. Furthermore, there are phones with display, in which we - when we talk again - can we see more than 35 digits, we need to select prepaycard with the control, and. More to come hopefully.
snails, eagles, whales and dinosaurs
the
to 20 cm long and 120 g heavy yellow snails, the banana slugs, we meet in the rain forest on Vancouver Iceland at every turn. Also Bald Eagles, the emblem of the United States, we can observe, even at close Near a beauty that is devouring the meadow beside the road its prey. Since we're lost and is no traffic on the road, we can stop and watch at your leisure.
Beautiful is the statement made by the chief of the were on the Pacific coast of Vancouver Iceland-based tribe of the Nuu-chah-nulth-aht (People along the mountains), Mamie Charleson, why snails have poor eyesight and Adler good: "A long time ago eagle could not see so well. Eagle went to snail and asked if he could borrow snail's eyes for a few minutes to see what it was like to see well Sun Snail let borrow his eagle eyes eagle never gave snail but his eyes back. That is why to this day snails are blind and eagles have sharp eyes. "
All vegetation is denser and stronger. At the high ferns,
the giant leaves of the Skunk Cabbage (Lysichitum americanum) and the lichen and moss as shrouded with curtains giant trees, we feel puts us in the Jurassic period. We would not be surprised if suddenly on our hikes through the rain forest instead of a bear between the trees, bushes and ferns seem like a dinosaur. The short trails are excellent by the way: It goes for miles up the stairs, down stairs, with wooden walkways and bridges. Information panels give us important information again and again and give us knowledge so that we feel at home here soon. And the rain, which forces us to daily rest periods between the tours, we have almost got used to. Finally, we can drink read in peace and warmth in our RV and coffee or tea.
We always impressed with the beautiful Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) from the family of Cupressaceae, with its reddish wood, especially because the Indians this was useful in many ways. A beautiful legend illustrates this: "There was a real good man who was always helping others. Whenever they needed, he gave, when they wanted, he gave them food and clothing. When the Great Spirit saw this, he said, That one has done his work, when he and blogs where he is buried, a cedar tree will grow and be useful to the people - at the roots for baskets, the bark for clothing, the wood for shelter '"
At the Wickaninnish Beach. Pacific Rim Park we visit the Visitor Center to the above all the culture of the Nuu-chah-nulth-aht and devotes particular method of whaling. Their leader was called Wickaninnish important. The exhibition is very informative. The whales were long boats (dugout cedar) from prisoners. The boat was manufactured by Kwiisthu issued, a 98jährigen chief.
the rope of a harpoon four balloons were attached to sealskin, which the whale harpooned the plunge difficult and it tired. With a long wooden sword he severed the tendons were first to the tail fin to paralyze him, and then directly targeted with a kick, an iron blade under the left fin pushed into the heart. This method was up to the 20th Century applied. Today these Indians live in wooden houses on the beautiful sea. Boats, we see no more. Instead of whales they catch now probably tourists. That should be easier and more profitable.
Today Sunday is Father's Day in Canada. On this occasion, our cousin Monica and her husband David on the eve of relatives and acquaintances - organized a great barbecue - and of course to our greeting.
morning Monday's northward journey. We take quite a direct way to Prince George, Fort St. John, Watson Lake Whitehorse, Dawson City, Tok to Fairbanks, we will reach to 4,000 km journey in about three weeks. We hope that we find on this lonely stretch even Internet access.

Models With Transparent Bras
From Oregon to Washington
now we are already 5000 miles (8000 km, see map) with the RV on the road and already have many impressions of the country and the people won. How much patriotism is turned on Memorial Day (29.5.) Everything was flagged, houses, gardens, boats, bicycles, backpacks, road edges in the forest, and of course the cars. We felt like on in Switzerland 1 August. But a lack of critical voices are also here, we saw somewhere in Oregon at the rear window of a driving ahead the glue PW: idiot
Somewhere in Texas a village is missing from.
At the mouth of the Columbia River
The drive along the coast north takes at the mouth of the Columbia River to an end. Here the state of Oregon has established several parks, which recalls the expedition of Lewis and Clark from 1804 to 1806. These were commissioned by President Jefferson, shortly after the States United States States of France had Louisiana (then a territory to enter into Canada included) bought gone off, to go on the upper reaches of the Missouri to the Pacific - about what we both do now on the southern route, only that we are a bit faster!
At the mouth of the river is Fort Stevens visited: fortifications during the Civil War, the English-American War, the 1st and 2 World War II. Here we also learn that the Japanese on 21.06.1942 with U-boats attack against this bulwark we also started several hundred paper balloons (sic) high rise with firebombs in Japan, had the low were then driven by the wind within a few days over the whole of North America and should trigger fires.
mosquitoes
On Columbia River, it is moist (the picture shows a side arm: the Lewis and Clark River). The Lewis and Clark have been and Expeditions ¬ members must learn Winter1805/06: their clothes, moldy, they own almost. This year it rained like no living memory. We are warned immediately on arrival at the campground from mosquitoes. Esther is jealous of it, doors and windows closed and always keep entering and exiting the mosquitoes to prevent the intrusion. These mosquitoes finally take but only to them, I was immune, thanks to her. However, I think the American mosquitoes were emancipated and make ran also to men. In the morning, then in fact the result of: Esther has gotten not a single spot, whereas I am more ankle. Somehow I have a special attraction to females. But my therapy: ignore attacks from females (and there are only mosquitoes) just can not say if it was attacked and not scratch, even if it itches! During the day we are hooded men against mosquitoes well protected (see picture). Against this fear even the sight of mosquitoes.
Whitsunday
It rained all night with rain. The heavy raindrops pattered on the roof of the camper and let us wake up during the night forever. I dreamed of any war and machine gun fire.
Now in the morning makes the rain gradually, and the asphalt road to be dry. Go out again on children's cycles and Scooters by children, all again with a helmet and, as always in his pajamas, but this time with a yellow rain jacket.
While continuing the trip to the southern shore of the Columbia River along it brightens and the state of Washington in Seaquest State Park at Silver Lake, 70 km west of Mount St. Helens seems, even the sun again.
Mount St. Helens
On our journey to the southwest of Canada and the northwestern United States in 1999, we had visited the Mount St. Helens from the east side, and had been fascinated by the vegetation, which slowly after the disaster of 05.18.1980 but recovered.
time because of an earthquake, the peak fell into the valley. The volcanic neck was exposed and away in a massive pressure wave swept rock fragments, gas and water vapor within a radius of 15 miles everything. The entire flora and fauna, which was not under a protective snow cover was destroyed. Now we
drive from the west on a new road over bridges and impressive walk so close to the mountain as we can. The extent of the devastation we are also highlighted. It was the ejection volume, just 'a cubic kilometer of material - the Vesuvius in 69 AD, was ejected 4 km3, an erupted around 4500 BC volcano, I believe it is called Manzana, even 150! Esther would have been all too happy to Spirit Lake to count the trees that are still in the lake. 1999, there had been a few thousand! But the journey is too far, and we are focussing on good information that give us the various Visitor Center of the National Monuments. Moreover, one can easily misjudge the time for hiking, there is usually no time frame, but only horizontal distance information in miles.
will leave everything in the vicinity of nature: starting to sprout firs, alders and willows bloom, all sorts of flowers to revive especially the red Indian Paintbrush (see picture), blue lupine, with its colors still barren landscape. Even Wild strawberry blossom again.
The destroyed 607 square kilometers of forests are used for forestry purposes but has since been reforested majority again. For days we drive through forests that are managed intensively, especially in Oregon and here in Washington State. The hilly forests are felled in small sectors. They look like sheep, which are only partially shaved. Then again - grown - according to scientific methods. After about 35-40 years of growth the trees to be felled. Continuously we encounter on the roads over long truck with logs. We drive past the industrial plants to see piles of wood chips, which we then return to move parks and forest trails. It is used all. The houses are built mostly of wood: a framework of wooden slats, can be fitted into the chipboard. The houses remind us a little of the cardboard houses that we have crafted as children.
At # 101 we drive on the eastern edge of the Olympic NP on the shores of the bay from Seattle along. This route we find more beautiful than the Interstate 5 on Tacoma-Seattle. At the foot of the highest peaks of these mountains, which all year from ice and snow covered, even if the highest of them, Mount Olympus, not even reached an altitude of 2500 m, we stay. On the banks of the canal that separates the mainland from the peninsula, we observe water birds, including plovers romp (Killdeer, family Charadriidae) and seals, the sticking out their heads from the water to orient themselves to, and in the water just like puppies. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially because the sun warms the clear sky appears above the deep blue sea, and we again can wear short dresses. We pick wild berries for the first time. Esther is in her element! They are the orange Salmon Berries. The Indians have until salmon (salmon) caught when they were ripe, hence the name. Since we are on the following morning still alive, we know that they are non-toxic.
On Friday we will leave the United States. We take the Ferry from Anacortes (north of Washington), many islands over to Vancouver Iceland. Next time we will have a map of our last leg of contamination.
now we are already 5000 miles (8000 km, see map) with the RV on the road and already have many impressions of the country and the people won. How much patriotism is turned on Memorial Day (29.5.) Everything was flagged, houses, gardens, boats, bicycles, backpacks, road edges in the forest, and of course the cars. We felt like on in Switzerland 1 August. But a lack of critical voices are also here, we saw somewhere in Oregon at the rear window of a driving ahead the glue PW: idiot
Somewhere in Texas a village is missing from.
At the mouth of the Columbia River
The drive along the coast north takes at the mouth of the Columbia River to an end. Here the state of Oregon has established several parks, which recalls the expedition of Lewis and Clark from 1804 to 1806. These were commissioned by President Jefferson, shortly after the States United States States of France had Louisiana (then a territory to enter into Canada included) bought gone off, to go on the upper reaches of the Missouri to the Pacific - about what we both do now on the southern route, only that we are a bit faster!
At the mouth of the river is Fort Stevens visited: fortifications during the Civil War, the English-American War, the 1st and 2 World War II. Here we also learn that the Japanese on 21.06.1942 with U-boats attack against this bulwark we also started several hundred paper balloons (sic) high rise with firebombs in Japan, had the low were then driven by the wind within a few days over the whole of North America and should trigger fires.
mosquitoes
On Columbia River, it is moist (the picture shows a side arm: the Lewis and Clark River). The Lewis and Clark have been and Expeditions ¬ members must learn Winter1805/06: their clothes, moldy, they own almost. This year it rained like no living memory. We are warned immediately on arrival at the campground from mosquitoes. Esther is jealous of it, doors and windows closed and always keep entering and exiting the mosquitoes to prevent the intrusion. These mosquitoes finally take but only to them, I was immune, thanks to her. However, I think the American mosquitoes were emancipated and make ran also to men. In the morning, then in fact the result of: Esther has gotten not a single spot, whereas I am more ankle. Somehow I have a special attraction to females. But my therapy: ignore attacks from females (and there are only mosquitoes) just can not say if it was attacked and not scratch, even if it itches! During the day we are hooded men against mosquitoes well protected (see picture). Against this fear even the sight of mosquitoes.
Whitsunday
It rained all night with rain. The heavy raindrops pattered on the roof of the camper and let us wake up during the night forever. I dreamed of any war and machine gun fire.
Now in the morning makes the rain gradually, and the asphalt road to be dry. Go out again on children's cycles and Scooters by children, all again with a helmet and, as always in his pajamas, but this time with a yellow rain jacket.
While continuing the trip to the southern shore of the Columbia River along it brightens and the state of Washington in Seaquest State Park at Silver Lake, 70 km west of Mount St. Helens seems, even the sun again.

Does Cesium Chloride Work
rain and sunshine
In the rain forest
Five weeks drought and heat and even heat, moisture two weeks now - an acceptable balance.
The drive along the coast north on # 101 through the lush vegetation is fascinating ¬ while, she owes the humidity and balanced temperatures. The walks through the redwood forests, however, requires a good timing: between two rain showers, well protected with a rain jacket and rain pants, we wander through the forest. Here we see old high Redwood trees. 3% of the stock reached an age of more than 2000 years. Everything is lush: fern at the bottom that you can see we hardly, shrubs and trees that grow in the logs (fallen trees) out. Mature trees, especially deciduous trees are covered with lichens (curtain trees). We also see the California bay tree, the Wine Maple (maple vine ¬).
Where the sun penetrates more, wild rhododendrons grow - a true color. The paths remind me a little of the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Iceland, I had committed four years ago with Urs Bamert. But here we have to carry a 25 kg backpack, and the roads are really almost dry and wheelchair accessible. The sunlight breaking in through the tall trunks covered with moss and highlights the strains. A brook flows quietly, the riverbed is rust colored by tannin of the redwood trees. Only the whistling of a bird is heard. It starts raining again. In the forest we remain among the dense pine roof from the rain almost completely spared. Even hours later, the ground under strong individual trees is completely dry!
The camp can easily endure the rain. We see a young couple jogs in the pouring rain, each with a water bottle in his hand. Apparently, running makes you thirsty in the rain? We also remember the many people which are now sitting with wet clothes in the wet tents and fire on their favorite camp without need. This is hard, but the fire camp for Americans of the few border in life - a relic of the pioneer days. It is not permissible to places provided virtually always fueled fire. Even with high fire danger when already our highest alert level is displayed and the fire hose is in walking distance, may still be gezeuselt, but only with charcoal. Perhaps there is, the land of opportunity 'soon a fire that burns, but smoke and stinks!
sunshine
Until well into the evening it rained heavily in the morning but the sun shines. In our Neighborhood was created at night during the rain an actual camp: about five cars, so many tents and shelters, so pay respect in our sleep already doubt. But people behave with children of all ages are very civilized. They apologize when their rugby ball falls on our RV greeting, from a distance of 20 m, as soon as we open our door. During the morning meal, we observe through the window the little children on the asphalt road: a little girl in pajamas out walking a little dog - no jumps, and it bounces around with him. Another, of course, a helmet, goes to his children's bicycle, while another, also with a large helmet that obscured his vision almost on a scooter. All still in pajamas. A lady goes, those are not in my pajamas, but with her sponge bag in one hand and the mug (a large insulated cup) in the other restroom in the (= toilet / shower). No adult can be seen without a mug. Drinking should be a broth, which is called in this country coffee. What is also part of American way of life: when they go camping with you a baseball cap and shorts, whether it is warm or cold, the sun shines or rain falls, even when the legs started red with cold.
begins with the Sunday after a week of rain a sunny period.
walks on the beach
The Hinterlands Northern California is composed mainly of sandy soil on the spread of vegetation.
We take a three-hour hike. The good way is passable for vehicles, runs between two shallow ponds (ponds) there. We regret that we do not have bikes with us! The soil is sandy, but covered completely by grasses. In between are spreading pine tree forests or isolated groups. Romp in the ponds of water birds. The sun is getting warmer, the sky is blue, except in the mountains to collect the dark rain clouds.
the way we connect to almost a 50 cm long line - again! They feign death and can be best made veer near photographic ¬. She seems to be non-toxic and is, as we discover later, one of the many species of Garter snakes. We see some birds, ¬ repeatedly wrens, En ¬ th, geese, a hawk. The Duck Pond is covered with water lilies, whose large globular light yellow Blue ¬ th (Indian Pond Lily).
Oregon
On Monday 29 May we cross on Highway # 101, border to Oregon. Here we
in Brookings is an excellent visitor center. We are inundated with cards and brochures, and trying to stay here for two months. For our return trip through the mountains in September, we now have all the necessary materials. The ride is further ¬ fantastic: rocky coasts, left in the sea cliffs outstanding, right green forests. Time and again we drive past deep blue lakes and wide rivers, which are far from the mountains. The driving conduct is blameless. Oregon likes us right away!
We stay in a park-like forest. A beautiful walk leads us over a sand dune at the beach, the north we fol ¬ Gen. The beach is clean, the sand is fine grained and dark. Up to 12 m long hoses algae on the beach. A seal sticks his head out from the wave ¬ ¬ Lenberg and looks new about greedy, as if he would have us develop ¬ covered. A fisherman catches Fish and then throws it back into the water: on, sports' leisure. The late ¬ to ¬ ¬ mood is very nice lunch, the Sun ¬ ne is warm, the air is cool like water, too.
The next two nights we spend in a pine forest at the north end of the Oregon Sand Dunes. The ground is several miles inland into sandy. With grasses, vigorous flowering gorse, rhododendron in all shades of red berries and pine. Barefoot, it is the 50 meter high sand dunes up and down. We even find strawberries! On shady banks because we can go in the park lakes with deep blue water along.
addendum to Sequoia NP:
I have just read in my Powerbook in the Dictionary of the dashboard that the Giant Sequoia, the redwood of the California National Parks (see blog from 20.5.) After an Indian scholar of the tribe of the Cherokee, Sogwali, known as George Guess or Giss, about 1770-1843, is called. This invented a syllabic writing system, which he has taught thousands of Cherokee Indians.
