Hot Spots

Voted 10/10

So you've really seen'em all while I just translated some texts about them. It's about time you moved north. :)

	Voted 10/10	You say the "people of the blue-green water" dump their sewage into Havasu Creek? I thought the "floods of 1997" were instrumental in "flushing" out that waterway, but seems you have a valid point by not going in the water. You don't want to move south to Mexico ???

	Voted 10/10	Ahoj Liba, Quite a few National Geographic articles. As to Havasu, I hadn't been aware of the existence of this 'oasis' and its falls until I got that text to work on. Talking of home, I wonder if you could browse your files for some pix :) of the Moravian karst, Podyji NP or Šumava, which are virtually missing from SP (there's probably only one). Jacek

	Liba Kopeckova	Re: Hot Spots
	Hasn't voted	I have a lot of old photos from Podyji and Moravian Karst - my house is located between those 2, and less than 3/4 hr drive to each of those places. Thanks for the idea Jacek...sometimes people think that things close to them are not as precious...

	Voted 10/10	Right, Liba, not a wilderness like what's close to your today's home; still a great place (I've visited the caves, and the sinkhole of Macocha; haven't seen the Dyje valley though), kind of epicentre of CE Europe :), the old capital cities nearby, and now that the border has virtually vanished the Alps in the backyard - not bad!

	Liba Kopeckova	Re: Hot Spots
	Hasn't voted	Yes, I am thinking to live there for a part of a year (inherited a house), and you are right - Alps in the backyard, about 1.5 hr drive (depending on the traffic around Vienna). Very nice in the summer, kind of depressing in the winter.

	Voted 10/10	I see you have it all, Liba! The vineyard as well?:) Yep, those grey winters looking like autumn, that's depressing. Still, there's an airport nearby, plus that great beery climbing gym!:D

	Liba Kopeckova	Re: Hot Spots
	Hasn't voted	Jacek, you have a good memory. I was planning to spend some time in that climbing gym and drink beer or 2 between the climbs. Yes, my family owns big vineyards.... Wondering, whether you can smoke pot in Amsterdam climbing gyms?

It must be changing every year.

Voted 10/10

When I was there in December 2006, the "flowing walls" had a very different appearance. I wonder if they have dramatic mud flows every spring.

	Hasn't voted	I don't know, but the flood of 2008, was a big one. I think that even the village had to be evacuated.

	Hasn't voted	The 2008 flood was catastrophic to the area. It completely destroyed Navajo Falls. The Havasupai are embracing the changes, however, as the flood did create two new waterfalls. I havent seen the changes personally, but it would be hard to completely ruin a place this magical

Havasu!

Havasu is one of my favorite places in the world. I got to hike up it while kayaking the Grand in 2005. This picture is after the big flood, isn't it?
