Thanks for the kind words, Andre.

Brian (in San Francisco)

A bit far to commute from San Francisco. Hope it stays the same, my favourite local when I lived there.

Yucca it is. My error, thanks for the correction.

No, my buddy wanted to end it all after climbing the steps. He is still waiting for a train.

I don't remember them being that steep!

Hi Brian, I'm really glad that you found the way. We had hired (pretty awful) bikes from Narbonne and thought that we were going to have to turn round early in the day. Then I saw someone walking across and we thought we'd try it.

Hope you had a good ride!

View of the old swamp of Montady that was drained in the 13th century by digging a tunnel to the centre of the lake. The tunnel still drains the excess water and the soil is very fertile. This cultivated lake bed is visible from outer space.

A joker added the extra zero - it is really only 100 miles! The tarantula was photographed on this quiet backroad. A stunning ride, also saw deer, turkeys, bobcat, coyotes, etc.
