Day trip to Mt.Azmon

In the North part of the country just North West of the Galilee Lake, Mount Azmon was our daily hike in a beautiful March weather.

The Mountain is an elevation standing high above the surrounding area with small summit area, steep slopes and local relief of 300m or more.

Our group bus picked us up at 6:30 AM and we started the hike around 8AM  just after having breakfast at the starting point, it was nice to meet the group again get the late updates, they all are curious about our “crazy” RV trips….”is the trailer yours?”” how do you know where to go?” “where do you leave it?” and so on and on, but we are happy to share our outstanding trips with them and get them “Jealous”…

What seems natural in one place is unheard in another,but if you keep an open mind and think out of the box the world will open and you can experience and learn  interesting things from different cultures.

The beginning point was  from a top of one mountain and crossed a valley climbing to wards the pick of Mt. Azmon, the path took us through beautiful fields and old olive groves,

Some trees are hundred years old , I learned that it is difficult to tell the age of an Olive because when it get’s old the trunk begins to split and no “circles” are created to help guessing the tree age. 

     

The scenery was breath taking, the Spring was all over the place and you could get drunk from the smells,I know –NO waterfalls-Unfortunately…they are waiting for us in Missouri&Arkansas …..

Here are some more pictures from the hike showing our small but beautiful country (Believe it or not but Smaller than the Michigan Lake)….

At the end of the trip we bought ourselves a treat – small local made sweet cookies with honey and nuts…..so good tasty and fattening…. 

I think this might be our last trip before we whit the road to wards our 2014 RV trip in the US.

See you guys,I cant’ wait.

2014 RV summer plan+ need help to find winter storage near Houston TX

 

Dear friends,

As you all know we do  RV trips every summer since 2002, each trip to a new destination and one of our great pleasures is to meet friends  along the way, no matter how long we spent together we feel blessed spending time with fellow RVers.

This year we had a new addition to our family, Ellie was born in Toronto to our youngest son & his wife, she is 2 months old and we still did not see her except on Skype but will be seeing  them in April when they come to visit during the Passover  (Easter) holidays

We also are going through a rough divorce of our eldest daughter that has 3 kids, trying to help her in any way we can.

All this delays our departure from home to N.America , we will start our RV trip till August  instead of June 2014.

Our original plan was to pick our rig in June from Rick & Patt that live next to St. Louis and were very kind to store our rig during the winter, visit Missouri-Arkansas and end the trip in Colorado Springs, but due to the delay we will change the route (because of the weather) and end the trip next to Dallas in November, visiting our Colorado friends in the next summer.

 

The stops you see on our route are picked as  central location where we leave the 5W and do day trips with our TV to hikes,waterfalls,music events and places of interest, we stay as long as we like before moving to our next stop,no reservations are made what keeps us flexible.

I need your help locating a storage from November 2014 till June 2015 near Houston so we can use the international A/P to fly out/in.

Thank you and many happy trails.
