Those were the younger Andersons. I doubt we’ll be seeing many escapades like this again. Sic transit gloria.

5300 feet or more of climbing. The numbers you guts put up constantly amaze and impress me.

I think this may be the opposite side of the border from where Carsten Hoefer wrote a journal about the Italian WWI military road and fortifications. That was a good journal but I no longer even visit that other site so I don't know if it's still available.

A distant cousin maybe, but they’re generally more like a shepherd’s hut rather than an actual house like trellis are. Here’s a pretty good article on them: https://www.beyond.fr/sites/bories-provence-france.html.

The French take on trullis?

I plan to see the world, vicariously and through the eyes of The Redoubtable Team Anderson, over the coming weeks and months.

I’m glad you did. I’ve been rereading it ever since, reliving some of the best tour of our lives. Neither of us can still quite believe we did this.

I went to your/Rachel's profile and scanned the list of journals. While awaiting updates in the "Three Seasons..." trilogy I am treating myself to some of your other, earlier writings.

We did a shorter, fully supported, much less ambitious tour of some of this area in 2019. It's fun to compare what struck your eye as worth photographing with what we shot on our own.

How did you dredge this up? This photo makes me feel nostalgic. It was taken in our condo, in the old days when we used to have a home. That rug is on the floor of my sister’s condo, waiting for us to have our own place to lay it out again someday.

I seem never to do the job twice the same way. But it always ends up getting done.
