Heney Ridge Trail

Heney Ridge Trail

This was supposed to be a 5.8 mile out-and-back trail, but the evidence of bears in the area became so obvious that we turned around near this point, less than a mile from the trailhead. Instead, we watched the water life in the nearby bay.

Strasbourg Cathedral

Strasbourg Cathedral

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg (June 2024)

This was a weird day. The weather was horrible, but it was our only chance to visit Strasbourg, France so we got up early and headed to the bus station. Buses came and went, but ours was not among them. A group of us grew very frustrated. In fact, most of the people who wanted to ride the bus from Saarbrücken, Germany to Strasbourg gave up and went home. We had no other options so we continued to wait. Our bus finally pulled into the designated spot, but it didn’t come from afar. No, instead, it had been there (on the other side of the parking lot) the whole time with the bus driver fast asleep. He offered no apologies for making us all wait 2+ hours, and thus our day trip to Strasbourg was significantly shortened.

Strasbourg was really cool, even in the rain.

The church in the town center was being used as a TikTok background by multiple groups of dancers (as you can see in today’s photo).

Happy birthday, Shawn Swain!

Shawn Swain Mandolin kitchen dwellers northwest string summit-standard

Shawn Swain on mandolin for the Kitchen Dwellers @ 2022 Northwest String Summit

This photo caught my eye because of Shawn’s tattoos on his right arm. I believe it’s the “correct” instruments for a standard bluegrass band (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, and bass). The Kitchen Dwellers are missing a fiddle, and don’t usually fit the traditional bluegrass sound. I love it when they get heavy and/or psychedelic. When they lean country I’m not much of a fan.
