"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

RETSCHELFELSHello to all the palatian climbers and hikers ! In this very cloudy, windy and equally rainy saturday, the 9th of july, I was at the Retschelfels with my girlfriend, for showing her this very spectacular and wild rocky site ! She was at the paradise here, at the Retschelfels, there was nobody for disturbing ourself ! Very aerian sandstone walls, remarkable honeycombs and cathedrals structures (erosions), very wild and rich flora, beautiful summital panorama on Busenberg and Bruchweiler, etc : the Retschelfels is meriting, but easy and fast to approach and to penetrate ! But be cautious, against farns (the southern slopes of the site is totally covered with this, it means that there's a very big danger of ticks !!! ). But we were here and we returned to our houses without any tick on us : a remarkable performance ! It was the first time, that I was on the Retschelfels in the summer season ! The visit was done in 2 hours 30 minuts and we had a very big chance, to have a good windy and agreable weather, without rain and storm ! But the sun wasn't very shiny, unfortunately ! The essential was, that I did my job very good : I took my photos easely enough and the results are at the rendez-vous ! Thanx again to you, dear friend, for bringing me like so sensations, emotions, dreams, adventures, etc ! Continue so, God Bless ! See you soon one more time on SP, Bye !!!
