Due North Post
I traveled about 23 miles today.
I watched a documentary about some guys that hiked across a desert. Just sand for days and weeks. This was our view today as we walked due north without a turn for 23 miles. I can't imagine how mind numbing the view of sand would be for days. We did get to visit with some cows, horses, birds, and dogs as we walked. And, the flat miles changed between some sugar crop, cattle range, and swamp. Both yesterday and today, there has been field burning on the horizon. Probably about 20 different fires set which only last a few minutes, creating a huge cloud of smoke and then black bits floating from the sky. Maybe we'll be closer enough to see one tomorrow. A treat today was a chunk of cane from a field. Sweet juice as we walked along for a couple miles. We met Devilfish near the end of the day and walked with him a bit. He's moving farther tonight as we stopped by the 'Lone Palm' spot which actually has two palms, so maybe we're some where else. Anyway, just a spot along the canal for the night.

Walking in a straight line for 23 miles? Sounds like you are in
North Dakota! I am glad you got to see some interesting stuff
along the way. Thanks for these interesting posts. Last night I
stopped in at church briefly. Everyone misses your presence in
the kitchen, but all are happy you are enjoying this hiking
adventure.
