Camping and Trekking Across the World!

This collection basin in Eiserfey Germany is another stop of the Eifel Aqueduct hiking trail. This is where 2 aqueducts came together and then went off to #colognegermany. This was all underground about a meter or two along the majority of the way to Koln. Learn more about this trip here: https://campingandtrekking.com/eifel-germany-aqueduct-adventure/

The next stop on the Eifel Aqueduct Hiking Trail was the Roman Aqueduct Bridge near Vussem Germany. It's a cool reconstruction of what some think the aqueduct in that small valley might have looked like. It was rebuilt in the 1960s and was a college student project. You can see the original aqueduct peeking out of the ground near this bridge to see how it would have connected and worked! Happy trekking!

This was our first stop on the Eifel Aqueduct Hiking Trail. We spend a weekend exploring the Eifel Aqueduct around northwestern Germany. It's only about 2 hours from the #kmc and a great weekend history adventure for anyone who wants to see 2000-year-old Roman ruins!

I went on an Eifel Germany Aqueduct Adventure over the weekend and it was amazing! You can see different sections, rebuilt bridges, and the starting spring about 40 miles from Cologne Germany. You can also follow an approved hiking path from start to finish! There are lots of options to see 2000-year-old Roman history along this path!

Back on the road for Thanksgiving break in the USA! Watch the Frankfurt airport's controlled chaos. I love seeing everyone going every which way on the tarmac. It all works somehow!

Just a GoPro 11 Black timelapse of my flight to Charlotte. Enjoy the view from the window!

I'm back home and we decided to hit Evansville's Fall Festival and check out that food! It's known for unique and wild food made by local vendors from around the west side! The monster's ear was the winner for the day and it's fried bread with honey and cinnamon. It's a great way to end the food exploration! Make it to Evansville next year for culinary exploration!

Wanting a quick hour or two walk in the KMC? Head to Elendsklamm near Bruchmühlbach for a family-friendly hike and some easy exploring! It took about 2 hours to explore the narrow gorge. Be ready for some steep paths but beyond that, it's very easy! Learn more here: https://campingandtrekking.com/elendsklamm-trek/

Had some unexpected results from a nightlapse out the window of my flight. I'll have to see how some of the other modes work for my return flight!

I finally made it to Yellow Birch Ravine near Taswell Indiana and it didn't disappoint! There are waterfalls and small caves everywhere. I included the GPS coordinates in the video and links below to the places I went. If you're ever in southern Indiana and looking for an easy hike with some water crossings then this is the spot! Parking is limited so be sure to get there early but it is well worth it. There are several smaller waterfalls along the way. There are several small caves and holes in the rocks. The final waterfall was a split waterfall that had two streams falling over the cliff! There is ample hiking and things to see on this 1.25 mile trek!

I visited Anderson Falls near Hartsville, IN. It was winter so I didn't go swimming but it's still a great place to stop by any season. There is a small parking lot and picnic area available when you stop and I found other videos of people swimming here in the spring and summer. If you do want to access the trails you will have to cross the falls so be very careful! I used my DJI Mavic Air 2 to get the drone shots and my Sony 4K camera to get walking-around shots. I will for sure be returning to this place to enjoy summer and maybe get a dip in the waterfall! https://goo.gl/maps/FZ9dWiR17kGhFsix8 https://columbus.in.us/anderson-falls/ https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/anderson-falls/

It was a beautiful weekend and made it to Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. There are tons of things to do in the Little Egypt portion of Illinois for an awesome hiking or weekend trip. I visited Cave-in-Rock State Park, Rim Rock Recreation Trail, Iron Furnace, and Garden of the Gods. Cave-In-Rock State Park: https://goo.gl/maps/eLUBLSy3fiUMEsx38 Rim Rock Recreation Trail: https://goo.gl/maps/HfLWJWR1HcXLkoCCA Illinois Iron Furnace National Historic Site: https://goo.gl/maps/owZJRxs9EvZVLKPH9 Garden of the Gods: https://goo.gl/maps/Tys8y1yTwzKhrwBU7 The hiking around the forest is great. It's an unknown gem and there's usually plenty of space and places to go see while you're moving around the area. Garden of the Gods is usually the main point that everyone tries to go see and enjoy. There's some hiking around there and it is the gateway to the wilderness area of the same name, but the main portion of the area is dedicated to showing off the cliffs. Cave-in-Rock State Park is a smaller state park but it offers a lot of beautiful views. It's home to the cave of the same name and has an incredible history of pirates and bandits using it as a hideout. There are also cabins, hiking, fishing, boating, and camping around the park. I'll be back. Rim Rock Trail is a very nice forest hike and easy hike that has a ton of interesting terrain, creeks, cliffs, and tons of trees. It's an easy hike to make and there's plenty to see. Finally, Iron Furnace is a fun spot to see and interesting to think of how busy that part of Illinois used to be busy with mining and forestry. There's a creek that's near that is open for fishing and a picnic area if you want to make an afternoon around the area. Southern Illinois may have a bad rap about how sparse it is or how there's nothing in this part of the country but there is so much there! If you're in the Tri-state area then you should make your trek to Shawnee National Forest to see some of the stuff that you're missing out. I plan on doing more midwestern hiking so if you have any ideas on where I should go next, comment below! #shawneenationalforest #visitillinois #ohioriver 0:00 Intro 0:23 Cave in Rock State Park 3:48 Rim Rock Recreation Trail, IL 5:20 Old Iron Furnace National Historic Site, IL

I stopped by Jesse Chisholm's gravesite today in western Oklahoma. It's an interesting bit of history. Read more at the link: https://campingandtrekking.com/jesse-chisholms-gravesite/

I had a Hike to Buchenegger Waterfall in the German Alps! We stayed in Oberstaufen Germany which is a mountain town full of resorts. We took full advantage of the city's placement in the Alps and enjoyed our time at a local spa. This was a great hike and relatively easy from the resort. The trail is mainly paved until you get to the last section when you have to drop into the gorge. The gorge portion is moderate to highly difficult to hike. Finally, you should hike from Oberstaufen because when we were there the parking police were there giving tickets to people who parked in the lot right by the gorge entrance.

Listen to the water moving!

Just a Google Earth view of my hike to Buchenegger Waterfall near Oberstaufen.

I tried the Startail option on my GoPro while I was in Oberstaufen Germany. This is an interesting option I may have to use again! #germany #gopro11black #gopro #bavaria #startrails #coolvideo #nighttimelapse

Just casual acrobatics in Strasbourg France!

I went out for a weekend trip to Strasbourg France and drove the 2 hours. If you notice near the end of the video you can see the Strasbourg Cathedral in the distance! Enjoy! Learn more about this trip: https://campingandtrekking.com/strasbourg-france-trip-report/
