\nStill on our way back home, we pass by chance near the \u00ab\u00a0Demoiselles coiffees\u00a0\u00bb, some hoodoos on south shore of the Serre-Poncon lake.
\n 
\n1. A short hike takes us near these always impressive concretions.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n2. The site is evolving fast. Its configuration has changed a lot over the last 50 years.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n3. Site Overview.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n4. Always favoring the back roads, we take a trail passing through Coche and Valbelle passes to reach Guillestre.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n5. Summer stable.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n6. VivaLaVida on the trail.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n7. View towards the West, shortly before the Pass of Valbelle.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n8. From the pass towards North.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n9. Some showers are coming.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n10. It’s gotten colder, the snow is not far away.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n11. We find a boondocking spot above the Risoul 1850 station.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n12. Last campfire of the trip.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\n13. Stop at an abandoned gas station in Maurienne.
\n 
\n\"\"
\n 
\n 
\nAnd that’s it for our Fall holidays. Shortly after, summoned to the VivaLaVida expertise, I had to remove the licence plates while waiting for the manufacture of parts to increase the power of the parking brake because the efficiency of the current assembly was deemed insufficient by the expert. We were therefore unable to enjoy VLV this late autumn. She returned to her shelter for the winter.
\n 
\nAs you read this, I received the ordered parts. I’ll be installing them in the coming weeks before getting the licence plates for the new season.
\n 
\nThank you for your loyalty in following this little blog and see you soon for the rest of the journey aboard VivaLaVida! \ud83d\ude00
