I'll be "backpacking" -- to imply traveling from country to country, but also hiking and camping in the backcountry -- various parts of Europe in winter for 3 months. I've camped and hiked before,...

Sam Carter answered my question in the comment. This is "Laputa Road (Japanese: ラピュタの道)". Google did not show me that URL. Olin, I forgot about Google Earth. I shall download it.
Lately some old posts that were already old when imported from elsewhere have popped to the top of the active questions list. In one case, one of the answers was apparently deleted. Two recent on...
Continuing on with this previous meta post, what is actually going on? The previous post was initially about the policy of bumping old posts to the top of the active list. However, that brought u...
Happened to see this and had to register just to reply because I have first hand info. I was fixing up an old mobile home and had removed the skirting and slept on a air mattress in a room with a ...
