Campout

On Friday night, I went to the 2nd Annual Single Female Teachers’ Campout. We hiked to Wolfschlucht (the Wolf’s Den), made a fire, roasted marshmallows and Peeps, and slept under a canopy of trees.

If all my blog posts are about hiking adventures, it’s because you would probably not be interested in reading about how I went through a cabinet full of music and took inventory of everything in my office. You would be bored to tears if I told you about how I have been writing lesson plans and a course guide and syllabi. Those things just don’t make great pictures.

What does make a great picture, however, is hiking up to the two faraway dorms, Sonne and Blauen, in the town of Marzell. I did that on Saturday after sleeping on the ground Friday night. It took almost 2 hours to hike uphill to the dorms, so I was pretty exhausted by the time I got back!

    Per the last picture, Malsburgians not allowed? 😛

    Glad to see you’re getting some fun times in – hope all is well!

    When there’s a red line across a sign like that, it means you’re leaving the town. For driving, this means the speed limit automatically goes up.
