Coming over the Rothenturm high moor down to the Lake of Zurich
Over the dam at the end of the lake
Looking east towards the mountains
Still snowcovered
Cliffs along the Thur river
Hilly farmland
The farmer started turning the hay soon after I stopped here for a break. Good thing my hayfever wasn’t active!
One hill was steep and a bit dangerous. The views were nice.
My super useful Exped lunch baggy
With brownies in it! Yumm! It gave me courage to go exploring closer to the river.
This is where one of the top clasps of the pannier on the right side broke off after a bump in the dirt track
Beautiful river views though
Getting a bit lost
I got to see these cuties a second time after coming back from getting lost
Oops. A big bang and a snap and the pannier was on the ground
The missing clasp allowed the bag to twist and then the repurposed IKEA bar wasn’t strong enough to stop the bag from getting caught in the spokes.
Violently ripped off
Good thing I always have some rope with me
I took the road less traveled … Again.
And encountered a beautiful snake!
