The Schwarthoff Family 2025

There are some good hiking opportunities...

... not far from Boise in the mountains.

Welcome to fall 2025!

Back home, without kids.

Supporting them from afar, there is much to do, as we are fighting German bureaucracy, to get two young people accepted into college.

But we are also out for fall camping at the City of Rocks National Reserve, and celebrating Oktoberfest in Boise.

Amsterdam in all its glory

St. Nicholas basilica and the Amsterdam Centraal station

Once more: Redfish Lake

If you look in the right direction, you cannot see the burn scars from last year's devastating fire.

This is why we are here.

Can you find a more beautiful spot?

Bass man, we will miss you.

It wants to be spring, but we're not quite there.

Here is some healthy breakfast.
