From tonight's walk. Seas of wheat waving in the breeze, hinds leaping away across fields and patches of b@st@rd nettles growing thickly enough to make the route impassable wearing shorts. We made it in just before 10pm and complete darkness, and my legs are still tingling from the nettles.IMG_20190721_215737.jpeg

Hi, went to the 12. Goldener Hut - Oldtimerfahrt. It got its name from a golden ceremonial hat archeologists found in the grave of a Celtic nobleman near Schiffertstadt.

The first car shows a model of the hat :
