July 4th - July 6th: Our trip to Charlotte, North Carolina

North Carolina Baby!

Taking advantage of the 3 days long weekend for the 4th of July, we crossed the US to spend 3 days in the region of Charlotte, NC.
I did not know much about this State, except that it is very hot and humid during summer, it says to be beautiful.
We spent the weekend driving from place to place, to make sure we could see as much as we can from this region: from Charlotte to Davidson (up north), from Charlotte to Asheville, through Lake Lure.
Indeed, it was hot, indeed, it was beautiful. Again, a great weekend spent travelling.








A big thank you to Carolina, a German Friend, who we met during the nights, and had a great time! We will certainly remember watching the fireworks from the highway. Literally from the highway, we parked our car on the side of the highway - and we were not the only ones!


Dangerous? hum...

June 14th 2008: Hiking the Dog Mountain in the Columbia Gorge

Between two Eurocup games, we decided to get back in shape and to hike the Dog Mountain in the Columbia Gorge (Washington side).

Streneous, because of the 2,800 ft elevation gain (about 854 meters), but great view on the Columbia Gorge, and wonderful wildflowers along the way.

3.5 miles up to the summit (5.6 km)
3.5 miles down back to the parking lot

Don't forget to wear your jacket even if the sun is shining. Up there, the wind will welcome you.
