The road going up.

My Garmin for the bike has yet to show up, so I am using my Zumo 550 with the car mount.  Hey at least I had a place to plug it into.......

Salerno ?


Not Salerno, but the actual town is called Cassino.  The Abby was bombed during WW2 thinking that the Germans were using it as a headquarters of some sort. 

They call it Monte Cassino here and the place is The Abby where Monks live today.  Great ride to go on if anyone is ever in the area.  I have been there several times, but this is the first I had a BSR photographer.

You got the right idea though MOFO.

Just one of the perks of living in Europe.  Next stop Abruzzo National Forest this upcoming Saturday.
