Expedition I:T:L:I:E travelog logo - Sweden

2012 by Expedition I:T:L:I:E @ realitybroker.org
Into the strange woods of Halland, Sweden

It was going to be an inspirational musical retreat in the wilderness of Southern Sweden. Instead, recording associates Ed Liftpirat and Kurt Köhler involuntarily became the protagonists of a hair-raising adventure that would eventually lead them into the urban canyons of Stockholm.

Equipped with a solar panel, laptops and mosquito spray, Kurt and Ed left the confines of their vacation resort on August 7, 2012, entering unknown territory at around 1100 hours. Their objective: to record 6 hours of pre-composed elevator music for an international adult diaper manufacturer. Little did they suspect that the ignition key to their digital audio workstation had decided to stay in the resort manager's visitor safe, right next to a cutting-edge GPS device. Soon they found themselves lost in a green maze of ancient oaks and pine trees. Their enterprise would have made good material for YouTube's library of epic fails, were it not for the fact that they inadvertently stumbled upon the life they once had.

Curiosity ensued. This had to be documented. Expedition
IsThereLifeInEurope was born.
The following travelog presents the most significant findings from episode 1 of Expedition I:T:L:I:E's rediscovery of life on planet Earth. Expedition I:T:L:I:E logo

Probably the most unexpected encounter occurred just northeast of the above-mentioned bridge. In a lush clearing stood Mother Moose, grazing with her two calves. There was no photo opportunity with the apparent single-parent household, as the ungulates took off seconds after Kurt and Ed had decided to bolt. Please note: The trees in the image below are schematic abstractions of the actual objects.
