The Flood!
It was another rainy and quiet day in Severni, until the rain did not stop. The main street became a river, while the field across the street became a lake. Water was waist deep at some points. Everyone was doing what they could to protect their homes, but unfortunately, in many cases mother nature was the stronger force. View Photos
Evan and Jeff bike to an Historic German Fortress
The Lone-Ranger and All-America Jeff made the 70km round trip to the historic Festung Konigstein. Their journey took them through the rolling hills of Saxon-Switzerland. The day was perfect for the trip and the views were amazing. View Photos
Work, Swimming and Homemade Pies
Evan, Jeff, David, Hanna and Kristy went up to the farm for the weekend. Not sure if Jeff, Hanna and Kristy were sure what they were getting into, but the weekend had it all. Working outside in the beautiful sun, hanging by the campfire and swimming in an old quarry. Hanna and Kristy even put the finishing touch on the weekend with two homemade pies, mmm. View Photos
A Journey to the Dwarf Cave
David, Joel and Evan set out to find Skale Trpasliky, The Rock Gnomes of Czech Switzerland. After a long ride through Rumburk and Ceske Kamince, they made a steep ascent and found the home of the gnomes. In addition to photos of the journey, Joel made an awesome time lapse as we biked to the Gnomes. View Photos and Video

Textile Designs and Print Blocks
Northernmost is striving to become a textile museum in order to house and display these unique pieces of Bohemian culture. The intricate designs and handcrafted blocks are a beautiful pieces of Czech art history.
About the Designs and Blocks: Typically, a town elder (woman) from a village would visit the factory each year and work on a new, incredibly intricate design that women wore in traditional folk fashion. Once drawn the process of carving forms would begin and as many as 50 forms might be used for one pattern. They were multi-colored textiles of extreme beauty which are now printed only by modern means. View Photos
