Bonjour!
It is too bad that I can't show this to scale. It was way bigger than it looked in a photo,
So today was my pre-hike day. I decided to hike up to the dam. Got a laugh out of this car. I am sure some of you coffee addicts would like to have this cup delivered fresh to your house.
I used google maps to try and find the dam, leading me to this auto tunnel. I walked partway through it and decided it was too dangerous. I turned around and walked back and found a trail nearby. Good thing I did this because I might not have turned around if I had to make a certain distance. So I am good to go tomorrow when the actual hike starts.
I walked up (and up and up) to Les Toules dam, which lies in the Entremont Valley and is fed primarily by the Dranse d'Entremont River. I was hoping to see some rap jumpers. Evidently, this is the only rap jumping in the world. They advertise "the ultimate adrenaline rush by rap jumping from this 86m (283 feet) arched dam." Another advertisement said, "In a hang glider harness, in a horizontal position, you will perform a rappel facing the void. While being assured from the bottom by a guide, you regulate your speed of descent. This will allow you to tame the void in complete safety! Strong sensations guaranteed!" I'll just bet there are some intense sensations!
Amazing scenery in every direction.
I saw lots of these bushes.
Look at these two mopes! You would think they hiked all day. Their masters were not dressed to walk.
Remember, dogs have masters, and cats have servants!
Short blog today. I am working on a new site that will send out emails automatically.
