With two dams just upstream and one downstream it waters maybe 10 acres of wetlands, an intricate network of channels, ponds, potholes and kettles, supporting I’d say 10 beavers and a host of other species. #GetOutside #Hiking

11am and still climbing. Steep rocks between countries, expecting an open view from above. Too: Pondering proximity and languages. Learning English ever since, yet unable to understand random conversations with close neighbours two hours from home.

Kuh in Bayern. 🐂🐄
Die Kuh graste an einem Golfplatz ⛳️ in der Nähe von Fuschlsee. Leider die Gastwirtschaft Hütte öffnet erst am 1. April! So blieb uns nichts anderes übrig, als weiter wandern gehen und erst auf dem Rückweg in Fuschl eine Kaffee und Kuchen Pause einlegen. Nur zur Erinnerung habe ich die paar Fotos mit der bunten Kuh geknieppst. 😀😉👋

Trail Sense: Android Open-Source app for entirely offline use for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching

In background a blurred image of a mountain, and in foreground is title text saying Trail Sense for Navigation, Weather and Astronomy
Trail Sense is a tool, and just like any other tool that you bring into the wilderness, it’s essential to have backup equipment and skills. One of its goals is that its features should make use of the sensors on a phone rather than relying on stored information such as online guides.

Features:

  • Designed for hiking, backpacking, camping, and geocaching
  • Place beacons and navigate to them
  • Follow paths
  • Retrace your steps with backtrack
  • Use a photo as a map
  • Plan what to pack
  • Be alerted before the sun sets
  • Predict the weather
  • Use your phone as a flashlight
  • Estimate height of a cliff
  • And much more!

So you’ll notice with this app there is no quick download of some map or guide. The idea is to prepare before departing with photos of your map, putting waypoints in, etc.

Zurück in bewohntem Gebiet. Regen trocknet in Haaren und Kleidern. Dämmerung als Farbton und Gefühl. Ein kleiner Gastraum, die 1980er haben sich in den Boxen verfangen, das Bier ist kalt und herb. Hier atmet vieles Erinnerung, und an manches knüpft man nicht mehr an. (Kommt man zur Ruhe, ist eine gewisse Erschöpfung spürbar. Und die Bilder des Tages sinken langsam ein.)

Today's #hike was from the Pima Canyon Trailhead to the tunnel. Basically a path under some rocks that haven't fallen yet, it's a cool place to rest. It looks wet, but that's just the polish from innumerable hikers brushing past. I didn't expect to get that far but my hiking partner had a goal and I was feeling up to it. It's about a mile further in than we usually go but the weather was cool, about 80f so it was easier than usual.
I was out of my main water by the time we returned to the start. Memo to me: bring more next time. I had a reserve bottle in my pack so wasn't in any danger. There's also a thermos of ice water in the car. Never skimp on water #hiking in Arizona. Even when it's cool the dry air sucks the moisture from your body faster than you can imagine.
This hike was 7 miles, give or take. The geology got more interesting further in. I wish I knew more about it.
