I had to get out this weekend regardless of the crappy weather forecast. Rahel and I headed to St. Antonien and from there hiked and overnighted at the SAC Carschina Huette. That evening we had a simple dinner and made conversation with a "frisch verleibt" couple from the Chur region. We learned a new card game called Shithead (aka "Palace" or "Karma") and played a few rounds with them. It was early to bed and an early rise. This winter I hope to return with snowshoes.

I had a laugh while preparing for the trip. I put on my backpack and boots and stepped onto the bathroom scale. My gear weighed 12kg, which is exactly the weight I've lost since March! That was a new perspective.
