There's a new sheriff in town!
His name is Bill. And he's from Texas! Walk Meister Roger has motored off into the sunset. But fear not. The walkers of Quarante have a new Meister. Bill has made certain that we don't skip a beat.
How about doing the Croix de Juillet again?
So off we went. The route was slightly different, a bit easier and a bit shorter, but still clocking in at close to five miles. I only took pictures that show the difference. You can see our full previous Croix de Juillet walk
HERE.

New Sub Meister? |
 |
Start at the co-op as usual. |
 |
But this time take the paved road all the way to the top. Walking trails are marked in blue. |
 |
Autocross grounds. |
 |
More red dirt. |
 |
Co-op falls behind quickly when the way is paved. |
 |
But along the vines as ever. |
 |
Fancy that! A road sign to point the way. |
 |
And there it is. |
 |
And there we are. |
 |
Still color in the vines. |
 |
A bit hazy. |
 |
A bit of rain, not too heavy, and the color might get more intense. It's been SO dry. |
 |
Back to the co-op. |
 |
Many townspeople have small garden plots among the vines just outside of the village. This old gent's plot showed recent end-of-season work - planting late lettuce and hanging on to that one, last tomato... |

Does Bill live year round in Quarante now? Regards to all, Elizabeth
