Sooo many experienced hikers (skiers, runners) in one place: Here on top of Salsfjället (N) - participants of the grøna vita bandet meeting September 15, 2019 at Grövelsjön. I knew some of them like Svante, Ola, Anna, Diana and Jonas before; and I got to know quite a few others who I had been connected to online only like Lina, Pia, Leif, and Animo. Time to walk was also time to talk. Hope to see you all again!

...weather had been quite miserable in the morning. I didn’t care much - on a last day - but I was soaking wet at Goldahytta where I stopped for a rest. But then the clouds lifted, the rainbows faded and Treriksröset appeared ... a bucket full of gold in sunshine under a blue sky. 

...continued hike to Goldaluokta - transfer by boat to Kilpisjärvi.

Ich verließ die Dividalshytta am frühen Morgen in dichtem Nebel, rutschte auf dem Eis in den gefrorenen Pfützen auf dem Weg. 
Doch schon bald lichteten sich die Wolken und die Sonne bahnte sich ihren Weg mit aller Kraft - ein spektakuläres Schauspiel

Spending a lonely and rainy day in the hut ...

Loving arms 

Words and music by Tom Jans

If you could see me now
The one who said that he’d rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could really make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And lying in your lovin' arms again

If you could hear me now
Singin' somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that hold me tight
If you could only hear me now

I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And lying in your lovin' arms again

I can almost feel your lovin' arms again.

Day 66 ...gave me kicks...  I decided not to rest tomorrow, but to continue my hike. 
It has been a wonderful week of Indian summer with warm or mild temperatures, little wind and lots of sunshine. The forests are turning yellow and the fjäll vegetation from bright red to dark red and all kinds of brown. Soooo beautiful!

My equipment - Lundhags high

So far I have been very content with my new 'bear paws'. Warm, comfortable, stable and an excellent grip in any terrain. But now the claws come off, well, it‘s actually the sole of the left boot that comes off. I found out yesterday, when I stumbled on tarmac, on an even road to Vaccotavare. That‘s really bad news. Options for a repair are low here. Hoping to survive with these boots till Abisko. Asked to send new ones there.
