    Sorry, for this late blog about my walk last sunday, but I did not feel like blogging during the week.

    Ok, last sunday I decided to go for a walk again in order to clear my mind a bit and get a good workout. This time I decided to go more uphill...



    This hill looks really inviting, but is too far away...



    So I decided to explore this hill again but instead of going north I decided to go more west and make it to the highway somewhere between the hills...

    (In the front you can see the construction site for the road I told about last time)



    And I decided to take this way uphill through the cherry trees and even a low fence does not keep me away from following the direction I wanted to.

    But I did not make to the highway because I saw this abandoned depot of the us army...






    and I saw this interesting graffity on the ruins. So I decided to find a way in which wasn't difficult because the main entrance was wide open. Actually there wasn't any kind of entrance doors anymore...

    So I decided to step in and look around (you'll find the pics in my graffity album). This site must have been abandoned for quite a long time because the ceiling of one building looked like this...



    After taking a lot of pics at this ruin I planned to explore the rest of the former depot but suddenly I heard "tak, tak, tak, tak" and shortly after "tak, tak tak" again. Damn, I though, what the hell is going on here???? But it did not sound like real machine guns, but more like the weapons of paintballers...yup and I was right:



    can you see the guy in the black fighting suit beneath the building?

    Hmm, I thought, this is pretty far away, let's have a look at another building close to me. But while I was taking some pics there I could hear the voices of another group of paintballers talking behind the wall and I also saw one, but he did not see me . Nevertheless I decided it was time for retraction - but I will come back!! The guys did not place any kind of warning at the fence, though....

    As you can see, the guys looked really professional:



    (can you see him, eh?)

    After this occurence I decided it was time to turn east and go home, though I had to go north for some time because the wilderness around this area made it a bit difficult to find a path downhill.

    But I finally I found one and enjoy the view to my hometown:



    (I had some difficulties to get around the construction site again, but finally made my way home)

    Be careful on your long solitary walks.  But don't stop.  I'm going to go out myself today!
