[Idyllchat] An Excellent Hike (and more)

[Joan Herriges]

Glorioski!  A little sports talk this morning, and some excellent CH hiking 
tips.  Thanks Dick and Jerry.

50% of our household was pleased with the result of the play-offs and World 
Series .  Bruce is a die-hard Boston fan.  The Yankeees have always been my 
team (named my cats Whitey Ford I, II, III, etc.).  Think now they would be 
"Derek".  From my outpost at the Giants AT&T Park, I pulled for the Yankees 
and Indians all season.  However, when the Rockies made their sensational 
stretch run, I defected and turned my attention to that fine young club. 
And, as 49ers fans (not easy these days) we were delighted that the Raider 
fans bailed out so we can see the Pat/Indy game tomorrow.  We are just 
getting ready to leave for the Cal game on a glorious autumn day(playing 
Washington State Cougs). Cal was number one for about an hour three games 
ago.  Now, after three losses in a row, we are hoping to salvage the season. 
We just returned from a week watching Arizona Fall League baseball.  There 
are six teams, made up of AL & NL top prospects.  They play during the 
series, and beyond, for six weeks.  Fun to kibbitz with the scouts and look 
for the latest Pujols, Garciaparra, etc.  Some of the players who played in 
this league last year played in the WS this year--amazing.

We'll definitely do the hike you recommend from Planplatten to Kaserstatt. 
We are going in June/July this year.  Generally we go a month earlier and 
the high walks are not open.  We enjoy the Rothorn train trip as well.  Glad 
you described the Schonbuel trek, as I have always been curious.  Cheers. 
Joan.
