Travels with Carly

It's generally the case that the one who is most often behind the camera rarely appears in the photos. That holds true for Carly, who was with me almost every step of the 1,115 miles I walked this spring/summer in Bayern & Baden Württemberg. Despite her protests, I did manage to take a few photos that prove she was here. 

Despite being camera shy, Carly is an extrovert who readily engages with other chickens. Here, in the woods near St. Ottilien on the first day of our Querweg hike from Freiburg to Ueberlingen.

Enjoying a much needed feather fluffing from friend Leslie during a break on the Maximiliansweg: 

Comparing sore muscles and blisters at the Sonnenalm hut on the Maximiliansweg. This bird had never heard of the Maximiliansweg. 

Conversing with other hotel guests at breakfast in Bad Reichenhall. They had never heard of the Maximiliansweg either. In fact, we didn't meet any other hikers who had.
