You may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
First, the forest of Petit Cunay, in the Jura mountains

And some big holes in it

Now, let's have a good look at this thing.

October snow down in the hollows

Perhaps the Snow God will be bountiful this year, at last.

Back up out of the Creux d'Enfer
The Château de Puthod

We're visiting the Château de Puthod, near Grande Grand in France, just over the frontier from La Dôle, 23 October 2011. That's the Castle of Puthod there, or what's left of it.

"How'd you get up there?"
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a22.jpg)
"Throw down a rope or a scarf, or something."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a23.jpg)
"This will work."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a24.jpg)
"That's no good either."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a25.jpg)
"It's easy, you just throw up your scarf, catch it on something, and climb out."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a26.jpg)
"That sometimes works, sometimes not."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a27.jpg)
"Thrown down a rope, or a scarf, or something."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a28.jpg)
"Nothing's ever easy these days."
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a29.jpg)
"So now what?"
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a30.jpg)
A clear limestone flat, with really really slippery verglas ice on it.
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a31.jpg)
And holes in it

Climbing back out into daylit meadows, at dusk
La St George
![](../pictures/win/winter2011a34.jpg)
In the cliffs above La St George (which is above the village of St George), there are WWII military installations and fake cliffs hiding ladders down the real cliffs. Kristin is having a look at some of them now, 8 December 2011.
