Surprise!
How timely that BigJimSlade added the “missing day” post today, just when I need an OTR post that is not part of the current OTR post clusterfuck. The site devs are trying to figure out if there is a way to fix the OTR posts that got mangled in the merge, including all the previously submitted as yet unpublished posts.

Hi everybody! About six months ago, I posted a (5-day) week’s worth of pictures from our previous summer’s trip to Ortisei in Val Gardena. Seeing as how we just got back from France and Switzerland a couple weeks ago, I better get this posted so I can catch up to this year’s trip! (And yes, we got Covid on the way back – for us it’s been like a head cold, some tiredness lingers…)
On this day we took the bus that runs up and down the valley (you get a free pass from your hotel/guest house) up to Passo Sella, then started the trail that goes around Sassolungo and Sassopiatto. Besides where we got off, a gondola unloads a throng pretty regularly. We weren’t looking for a big hike that day, so we just went 2-3 miles, then turned around, against the tide.
Some little forget-me-nots. They are tiny and I love them.
