It was Easter - hence time for a prolonged stay in my home region Mühlviertel. I demanded to be transportet into this area - so the Redhead and the Norski vere happy to oblige. As I had some unfinished business in the little hamlet of "St. Georgen am Walde", this village was our first objective.
Pic.1: Here we see parts of St Georgen am Walde in the eastern part of Mühlviertel.
After I had finished my business in downtown St Georgen my two chauffeurs wanted to "tour the area". So off we went. We actually walked... The first stop was a small lumberjack museum. It was really small and not very impressive, but they managed to shoot some nice pics of me:
Pic 2: Here I am bravely inspecting part of the lumberjack museum. Observe the dangerous waterfall just beside me.
Pic 3: Chillin' on the museum porch.
Pic 4: Part of a large tree. Someone with too much time on his/her hands actually counted all the rings, and the tree was older than the Redhead and the Norski together, would you belive that!.
But of course we couldn't stay around that phony museum all day long som we forged into the lovely forest. Lots of trees, mud, irritating birds ..well all the thingies you normally expect to see in a forest. I am sure the Redhead and the Norski loved it.
I was looking at a whole lot of different things, and...suddenly I was alone !!
"Helooooooo!!?" I shouted into the forest which now appeared to be more hostile. It was colder now, or was it the fear or the longing for my slippers, bathtube and hot chocolate?
Between two large trees I met a Badger (Dachs) whom I asked for sustinance and lodging, but he was sharing a small flat with a fox and had no room for a towny piglet.
But having read the SAS surviving-manual on many a cozy evening at home, I had of course some idea what to do. I build a bivouac!

A bit cold and hungry (not thirsty as I found a small "burn" (as they say in Scotland)) I fell asleep.
More to follow.
