Just got a chance to watch the Stage 13 through the Vosges Mountains.� I was out camping in Vertmont�at West River Westies over the weekend.

Lots of Vanagon Westy lining the�roads.� There were 4 or 5 in a row near the Col du Platzerwasel ( the second big climb) in the rain.
Obviously a French VW Van group or club.�� Anyone on the List??

I have personally climbed, during a big�euro-tour on my DellaSanta, �the Col de la Schucht�and Platzerwasel to vacation in one of the many Auberges around the Munster Valley.� My relatives are from this part of Alsace where�all the wine is good and the munster cheese has that unique smell.� Wild blueberries grow on all of these mountains, easily filling buckets at a time.� This is a great place to vacation in the summer time.� Or in the fall to sample the vin-nouveau from�Alsace.
