Camping and Trekking Across the World!

always finding some new friends on a hike in Germany

The dragon teeth are part of Germany's World War II Siegfried Line and can be found in a few places in the western part of the country. This one was near Lambsborn and next to a pasture and trail. It was easy to get to and only required about a 10-minute walk. There are about 50 meters of the dragon teeth and the rest has been razed and returned to nature. If you're looking for a fun day to get out and see some history near the #kmc this is an easy spot to explore!

Just a day biking around Kaiserslautern Germany! I love it!

Got to see the 2024 eclipse and it was great! It was my second one so I guess I'm officially an "eclipse chaser"! You can really see Jupiter to the top and Venus to the left of the eclipse!

I went to Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest while I was home visiting. It's a gorgeous area and the start of one of the wilderness areas for the national forest. There are a few trails in the area. The main allure is the camel rock area. You can climb all over the tops of the rocks. Be careful because people do fall off each year. You can see the forest from the high cliffs and there are boulders to climb on! Happy trekking! Read more at: https://campingandtrekking.com/garden-of-the-gods-illinois/

I went to Rim Rock National Recreation Trail in Shawnee National Forest Illinois. The hiking is wonderful out there and Shawnee is a great national forest that not many people know about! It's also near Evansville Indiana. This is a great day trip for anyone in the region with lots of hiking and exploring!

We went for a Garmisch walk while we were staying at Edelweiss Lodge. It was a blast!

The sky in Germany!

Just a timelapse of the stars over Garmisch Germany! It was a nice brisk night in January and a bright starry night!

I randomly picked a spot in the Vosges Mountains in France to have a quiet weekend. I decided to look around the map and discovered the source of the Moselle River! I live near this river in Germany and have visited the German Moselle River many times. It's an understated monument to one of Europe's most famous rivers. Here's what it looks like! Happy Trekking!

I'll have to work on the GoPro settings because auto just isn't cutting it!
