A blaze of blazes in the forest!
The orange-blue-white blazes mark the Israel National Trail.
The blue and white is for a local trail.
Here's another marker on a rock, overlooking my neighborhood in the town of Meitar.
In the opposite direction are the South Hebron Hills in the West Bank.
Over to the west lies the Mediterranean and the Gaza Strip.
I'm lucky to have it right down in Meitar's backyard.

It must be a great walk to follow part of this trail. I remember that you are a great walker. Thanks for your post with those beautiful photos.

Thanks' for the great map I have been trying app's for my Ipad and not one is this good.
ReplyDeleteI want to keep up with this for my Bible study.
This would be really great, but I am really too old (=lazy) for it...
ReplyDeleteHi Wil. Yes, I thank God everyday that walking is still easy.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, maybe someday you will. Other parts of the Trail are a lot more dramatic than these.
Cloudia, yes, green after abundant rain this winter. And there are wildflowers all over, carpets of them!
Patsy, good. True, it is hard to find a map with the Green Line on it anymore.
VP, well, I also would not do most of the Trail, just because of not wanting to carry tons of water etc. in a backpack. But little segments like the one near here are easy (in good weather).
That map is the clearest one I've seen! This is your week, "I" is for "Israel."
ReplyDeleteNow I've got 2 trails on my bucket list. This one and the one in Spain. Why don't you organize a walk. We'll all participate!

How awesome to live in such a lovely place. I can see why God chose it for His own!
ReplyDeleteJanis shalom. Maybe I'll see you on the Camino de Santiago. It is a dream of mine to walk it.
ReplyDeleteShalom bettyl-NZ. I agree, it is awesome, the Holy Land. But about your "why God chose it for His own," don't they talk about your own New Zealand as the GodZone/God's-own country? :)
I LOVE maps , ever since my grandfather gave me his every month from Nat Geo.

It is so green around you.Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteRoger, I'm with you on that. My kids grew up with those NG maps and others pinned up on the wall next to the toilet, on doors, everywhere. And they enjoyed learning what's where.
ReplyDeleteYael, yes, it has been a good rainy winter for the desert. Wildflowers everywhere! Come down and see.
It would be a nice walk, really, but I think it would take me a year to do it all ... :-)
ReplyDeleteOur women's bible study is studying the walk of the Israelites through the wilderness. Such a wonderful study of provision.

I'll come along if I may. It's gorgeous. But please be aware that despite the markers, I tend to take wrong turns...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there are markers. It must be easy to get lost. I'm sure Art would love to walk that trail.
