Front lines

We made it up to what was the front lines north of Nancy. Luther mentioned Millery and Pon de Mons.  The church in millery was built in the late 1800's, so I am sure he was there.  Now there is little mention of the war.  There is a river in the middle of a very wide valley.  It is easy to see how the terrain would keep opposing armies funneled up.

Continued up the moselle river to st mihiel on a very hot Sunday.  I mention Sunday because many shops are closed, including the ones selling water. Finally found a cafe and bought 6 liters.  Enough   to finish the 60 mile ride, pulling our trailers.  Ouch. 

Just outside of Toul, we saw our first cemetery, with soldiers from both wars, both French and Canadian.

We are staying at the only hotel in town, and were lucky to find a food trailer just outside.  A big change from the 5star Michelin  restaurant we enjoyed in Nancy.

St Mihiel is another location of a large battlefield during the great war.
