Coming over the Rothenturm high moor down to the Lake of ZurichOver the dam at the end of the lakeLooking east towards the mountainsStill snowcoveredCliffs along the Thur riverHilly farmlandThe 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 baggyWith 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 trackBeautiful river views thoughGetting a bit lostI got to see these cuties a second time after coming back from getting lostOops. A big bang and a snap and the pannier was on the groundThe 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 offGood thing I always have some rope with meI took the road less traveled … Again.And encountered a beautiful snake!
