. . . of Umbria. I got the chance to make the drive up to the top of Mt. Subasio this week (I know I should be hiking it but the temperatures have been close to 100 and I’m going to save my ascent on foot for the fall). Subasio is the mountain that dominates central Umbria and hosts both Assisi and Spello on its slopes. The road to the top is dirt (strada biancha) but manageable even in my little Peugot sedan. On top there are usually only sunbathers, hang gliders and, of course, cows and sheep. The views are stunning and the air is cool.

The road sign indicates slippery when wet — well, yeah!

Could be western North Dakota?
