In San Ygnacio, close to the Mexican border

So for this weeks ABC Wenesday my X is a tour in TeXas. Photos from our road trip across (north to south) the USA in 2009.

In the big cities we did some awesome couchsurfing in the homes from wonderful people. That really gave us an inside in Texan life. And on the road we found fantastic places to pitch the tent.

Linked to signs, signs. I have no idea from which place the distances on the guidepost are?

Do you feel the tranquillity?

In the hinterland

 Yellowstone National Park, USA, August 2009

we did need a lot of stuff for 12 days hiking in the wilderness with two kids

My ABC Wednesday for H is hiking in the backcountry (which I would translate into German as Hinterland). That was so beautiful, so exhausting, so far away from everything, deep in the nature, just an awesome adventure. And we loved it.
More from my hiking stories.

Grizzly Lake

Grizzly Lake, Yellostone National Park, Wyoming, USA, August 2009

We camped at the backcountry campsite 1C2 one mile away from the lake. The end of a four days hike. Beautiful and wild.

Yellowstone backcountry camping

Where is the bush toilet? Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, August 2009

On the shore of Heart Lake the campsite 8J6. Such a beautiful place in the Yellowstone backcountry with a stream for drinking water close by.

campsite 8J6

We stayed here two nights (and it was our last camp at this 12 day / 11 nights hiking trip). What an incredible scenery with wonderful sunsets over Mt. Sheridan.


And there was Silence (a previous post) with the lake in different light.

I love this place. I love wilderness. And this hiking was one of the best adventure I've ever had.
