Yes, Stefan got lost for over 6 hours…

But let’s start at the beginning…

I felt we were sneaking into Sweden when we rode in across the border…

After all the legal work, visas and immigration visits—(which we got so used to in Thailand)– the concept of open borders still seems bizarre to me.

Both Norway and Denmark have random passport checks, even though we were never checked, at least we saw some border officials and we were asked to show ID’s when boarding the ferries.

Crossing into Sweden stood out because basically one second we were in Norway and the next second we realized we had passed a sign saying “Welcome to Sweden.”

About 50km into Sweden we entered a National Park area and we still hadn’t seen a single person or proper town. It is a bit surreal driving well paved roads and seeing no civilization whatsoever…

We realized that we were pretty close to the Fulufjallet waterfall that we wanted to see so we decided to try to find it. After finding it, we were told it would take a 2-3km hike up to see it, it was around 7pm so we decided to take another shot at it the next day as and we still didn’t have a place to stay.

As mentioned there was hardly a soul in sight, so it took a while for us to find a campsite. We actually found one “proper” campsite but it had a terrible spot to put up tents so we decided to strike off on our own and “wild camp.”

This was easier said than done as the area we were in wasn’t it full spring or summer bloom. The ground was still very rocky and the trees were a bit grey and uninviting.

The ground was cover in all of this sharp moss that felt more like coral to me…

But after wandering around the little back trails we found something not too far off civilization– right beside a stream going under a bridge.

The trees were greener and the grass was long so we figured it was about the most comfortable spot we’d find. And the little clear water stream was perfect!

We set up camp and immediately started to scour the area for dry twigs for a fire as there were massive mosquitos about.

LOL, we felt very inadequate for true wild survival because no matter what we did…we could NOT get the fire up and burning…

a bit miserable and smoked out from our failed fire…LOL…
