It feels completely different going south. this Time of year the sun has been behind me and to the left until late afternoon. I felt nice to be walking toward the sun this afternoon.
I'm in serious farm country now. Not really big agro. Mostly smaller farms. I'm not sure what they're growing but will take some pictures tomorrow to see if anyone can identify what it is. It seems like mostly all the same crop. Looks like corn shoots but they're already knee high and it's nowhere near the 4th of July. My early guess is sunflowers.
It's hard to believe any Jing can grow in that kind of "soil". It must be mostly clay because the clumps are so hard I can barely break them with my walking stick. Walking in farmland like this is kind of a drag because of the clay. It ranges from ankle deep mud that you can barely pull your foot out of, to rock hard tractor tracks they wreak havoc on the ankles. There are like 50 states of clay, none of them good to walk on!
I actually took a decent picture of the tractor tracks I'm dealing with but where I'm staying has no wifi and barely a cellular data connection.
Tomorrow is a nice 23km jaunt to a town called Marciac. I should have good wifi there.
