Collen Logan, founder of the adventurous hiking experience Fox’s adventure, got his nickname Fox due to his foxy ideas and founded Fox’s adventure because of his love for hiking. His adventure, lasting over two days and divided in two phases, consists of a hiking part and a mountain biking part. The difficult part, the hiking, took place on the first day and it was not unusual that you found yourself bending down or on all fours. Some scratches and clingy plants had to be endured in order to see the breathtaking view over an untouched South African mountain range and into the longest valley of the world, which is here know by the name of the Valley of Death.
In a time in which there was no existing cure for Malaria the name Valley of Death wasn’t just a name. During the summer month the valley is obsessed with mosquitos. By the way the longest operating gold mine, with over 100 years operating time, is located in the same valley right next to the hiking trail. The average operating time of an ordinary gold mine is usually between 35-45 years. Back then the gold was probably the only reason why somebody took on the dangerous journey into the Valley of Death. On our hiking trail we already past two mine entries. Arriving at our camping ground in the evening, Jan, Henry (our South African rapper friend), and I started to pitched up our tent right in front of the panoramic view over the Valley of Death and we began preparing our dinner. Noodles and
Chakalaka. Surviving the ice cold mountain air night, we bestrode the mountain bikes and began our decent. On the way back Fox showed us a certain part of the old now completely overgrown hiking trail, which is called Piano Staircase. If you believe the legends, a piano was pulled up to the top of the mountain on request of the wife of a mine owner and the one hill which is called the Piano Staircase, is a small path going up in a zigzag course. Quite difficult I’d say. After arriving in the valley we were rewarded with blisters on our hands and with a Fox’s adventure badge, which you can get only once in your life and only on your first completion of the hiking trail.

...what is this new addition to your face, Mr. Piesche ??? Actually I really like it. I think you should be a writer, at least part time. Your writing style is very descriptive and interesting. My mom was also looking at your blog and she said the same thing. :)
