Munich/Barnstatt/Hallstatt

Cold as hell in Munich...

... with enormous figs

The Hofbrauhaus...


Susan's drinking buddies...


... who bought us rounds of schnapps


The Isar 

We walked kind of randomly uphill... 

... where Austrians fill cow troughs with beer and lemonade



Walked up to a hut called the Stripsenjochhaus

Very gnarly

Susan dug the cables and ladders

The black jacket is Sue on the klettersteig... 
just kidding

The ascent was real, though.  The green roofs below are the hut...

... where, upon descent, we had great nudelsuppe...


Walked from the Vorderer Gosausee...

... to the Hinterer Gosausee...

and a Nepalese couple - no kidding - took a pik 

Even an improbable copper horn to listen to water leaking out of the mountains

Then it started to rain...

and we washed up in Hallstatt

Storms every afternoon



Bison here and there...

Beetle + dung ball = ?

"Somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota... "

Eschewed the $20 parking fee and were satisfied with a view from the road


Cleaner's golf cart at Cedar Pass Lodge

Badlands National Park








Susan hates ladders
