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.

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. |

A bit hazy. |

A bit of rain, not too heavy, and the color might get more intense. It's been SO dry. |
