A proportion and scale assignment in class was a lot of fun to mess around with. Mr. Foti had this ninja hamster floating around in his cabinets of random crap and I was glad to use it.

Beach Lake Bakery is family-owned and operated. In the late 1990s, co-founders and owners Brian and Lisa Woods started producing artisan breads out of the garage of their home in Beach Lake, PA. Their first customers were friends, at whose houses they would drop off a few loaves, and a local fish market. With the help of their son Ian, who assisted with production and deliveries, and their daughter Jamie, whose idea it was to build and run the bakery’s small retail store, the Woodses discovered a high demand for their European-style breads and traditional American pies and cookies. They sold the business in 2007, and it moved to Honesdale, PA. It was a twist of fate, when the bakery, formerly known as Beach Lake Bread, was forced to close its doors in August, 2011, and Brian and Lisa resumed ownership. They reopened it in March, 2012, as Beach Lake Bakery, at its original location in Beach Lake.
The railroad scale house, in West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area east of the Paducah site, was used in the 1950s to weigh Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant freight. Workers preserved the old scale because of its potential historical significance. The scale house was demolished.

I felt like doing something brave. This was the best I could do without a trampoline, water hose, and firecrackers.

Mountain tour to the Cima Matatz peak
Mt. Cima Matatz is a little peak in the east of the Tessa Group: Quite easy to scale, it offers a great view of the surroundings from the Zillertal Alps to the Ortles Alps and the Brenta Dolomites.
Our little mountain tour starts at the parking space above the hamlet of Ulvas near Moso in Passiria (Moos in Passeier). Along the wide forested trail, we walk to the lower Ulvas Mountain Hut (Ulfaser Alm). This is where actually the ascent to the little peak starts. Via a rather easy path, leading across steps through the forest and height towards the tree line (signpost 2B). This is how we reach the eastern ridge of the Tessa Group, and only 200 m of altitude difference are left to be overcome to reach the summit cross. (2,180 m a.s.l.).
Even if the weather is not the best, the view is astonishing. In the north we can admire the main Alpine divide with the Oetztal Alps, the Stubai Alps and the Zillertal Alps, in the south east there are the Sarentino Alps and in the south west, the mountains of the Trentino, the Brenta and the Ortles Alps strike our eyes. You can also look down to the valley, from the Passo del Rombo to Stulles and from Passo del Giovo to San Leonardo and San Martino, for example.
For the return, we take the same route, but we shorten the trail via the Schartalm alpine pasture. Slightly lower, at the lower Ulvas Mountain Hut, we stop for a snack, before we finally walk back on the parking space. Mt. Cima Matatz (Matatzspitz) might be a modest peak, but it's a great feeling to have conquered and scaled the mountain and to admire the surroundings from the top!

The Passeier Valley (German: Passeier or Passeiertal [paˈsaɪ̯ɐ]; Italian: Passiria or Val Passiria [pasˈsiːrja]) is the valley of the Passer river, in the mountains of South Tyrol, northern Italy. The Passer river is a left-bank tributary to the Adige. At the mouth of the valley, where the two rivers join, stands the town of Merano. From there, the valley runs north to the Timmelsjoch mountain pass, which leads to Sölden in the Ötztal valley of Austria and to the Jaufenpass which leads to Sterzing in the Wipptal.
The following municipalities are located in the valley: Kuens, Riffian, St. Martin in Passeier, St. Leonhard in Passeier and Moos in Passeier. The population of the valley speak German.
It has 300 days of sunshine p.a.

Bergtour auf den Matatzspitz
Die Matatzspitze ist ein kleiner Gipfel im Osten der Texelgruppe: Sie bietet einen tollen Ausblick auf die Umgebung des Passeiertales von den Zillertaler Alpen bis zur Ortler- und Brentagruppe.
Unsere kleine Gipfeltour beginnt gemütlich beim Parkplatz oberhalb des Bergweilers Ulfas bei Moos in Passeier. Dem breiten Forstweg folgen wir bis zur unteren Ulfaser Alm. Hier beginnt dann die eigentliche Erklimmung des kleinen Gipfels über einen unschweren Bergpfad, der über Stufen durch die Wald- und Heidenlandschaft in Richtung Baumgrenze hochdreht (Markierung 2B).
So erreichen wir schließlich den östlichen Kamm der Texelgruppe, nun fehlen uns keine 200 Höhenmeter bis zum Erreichen des Gipfelkreuzes (2.180 m ü.d.M.). Obwohl das Wetter heute nicht ganz mitspielt, ist die Aussicht überwältigend. Im Norden der Alpenhauptkamm mit den Ötztaler, Stubaier und Zillertaler Alpen, im Südosten die Sarntaler Alpen, im Südwesten schließlich die Trentiner Berge, der Mendelkamm, die Brentagruppe, die Laugenspitzen und die Ortlergruppe.
Auch ins Tal hinunter kann man von hier aus sehen - vom Timmelsjoch bis Stuls und vom Jaufenpass nach St. Leonhard und St. Martin, zum Beispiel. Die Rückkehr erfolgt in etwa am selben Weg, wir kürzen den Abstieg jedoch über die neu eröffnete (2013) Schartalmhütte ab. Etwas darunter, bei der unteren Ulfaser Alm, kehren wir dann noch kurz ein, bevor es über den Forstweg zum Parkplatz zurück geht. Der Matatzspitz mag wohl ein bescheidener Gipfel sein, doch das schöne Gefühl, die Spitze erreicht zu haben und auf die ganze Umgebung blicken zu können, vermag sie aufgrund ihrer Position über dem Tal in jedem Fall zu vermitteln.
