the geotrack for the short hike is  here

We return to the odd old prisoner/labor camp of Prony for a couple of reasons.  First, Miss K and I wanted to scope out - and walk - the very beginning of GR1 as it's likely our real trek will start just a bit further along than the true starting point.  Secondly, we wanted to place a geocache at stage 1 as we plan to place a cache at every stage.  And finally, our first visit was rather sudden and unplanned and we wanted to check it out a bit more thoroughly.  The full (sad) story of the Village Historique de Prony can be read in English at the helpful NC tourist web site.
