Everyone's kindly asked to cross fingers for my good luck on the hike I start in a few days time at Danube's Iron Gates... the longest mountain walk I've ever undertaken, 2200 kilometers and around 100 days of backpacking across the whole Carpathian Arch...across Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Rep. and Slovakia. Tough challenge after painful injuries I am still recovering from, but I just feel I need to go to the mountains for long right now, to enjoy the simplicity of life in the woods and find peace again...

With immortal Thoreau's..."“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
I love to try to practice that again and again.
Hope you all enjoy great summer season in the mountains of the world this year!
See you!
Tomek
