Journey
10:00 left Pigna.
We crossed several streams refilling our water bottles.
15:30 Reached Muratone Pass.
On the French side down the hill we found some old military tunnels.
Looking back at Muratone Pass.
The valley on the French side was much wetter and was the home to
very different types of plants and animals to the Italian side.
