Scott Anderson replied to a comment by Keith Adams on a photo in To La Clusaz: Col des Saisies / Col des Aravis

The mountains here are so diverse, exceptional in different ways. I really hope we can come back here again some year and experience them as day rides next time. It had better be soon.

That notch is fascinating. I suppose it was carved by a glacier, as the rest of the landscape was also shaped.

That's as fearsome a set of peaks as even the most fevered imagination might conjure.

What an idyllic looking setting for the farm.

Keith Adams commented on a photo in At Beaufort sur Duron: Loop ride to Albertville and Ugine

Comparing the color saturation and rendition of these photos to your 2022 albums makes for a stark contrast. I've gotten so accustomed to the 2022 photos that these look almost artificially vivid. I think the overall image quality from 2022 is also better- at least until your good camera went belly up.

Doesn't look flat from that perspective!

Still, Team Anderson of seven years ago were older by eight years than I am now. And the modern (2022) form routinely tackles hills that would reduce the current me to a pile of jelly.

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.

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