Ian's photos 23

After crossing the river, we headed up into a long sloping valley that would take us to a pass where we could cross over into the next valley. At first there were farms and a good road.
There was a scenic stream that separated some woods from a field that contained some sort of crop with each plant in its own little vinyl hothouse.
We started climbing into the hills and the road gradually became less and less kept up. It was just wide enough for a car and there were tracks so we knew that someone did use the road, but in places the foundations were gone and it looked like the weight of a car would collapse the whole thing.
Eventually we found a rest house, so we stopped to snack and have a drink. While we were resting, it started to rain so we got into our rain gear.
A little ways further on there was a picnic bench, but I can not believe that anyone would come here for a picnic. However, some Henro Pilgrims might stop to rest and have a bite.
