Blustery Spring Day

Leaving La Rose de l'Aubrac to walk across the Aubrac plateau. Notice the bag of water hanging inside the doorway. Apparently it scares flies away, because they think a fish will catch them. The owners hung these all through the house.

Because of an impending storm, the winds were fierce. After walking in the heavy winds for 4 hours, we found a small shack that had room for three of us to be sheltered long enough to eat some lunch. 

Entering Aubrac. 

We have seen Spring flowers everywhere. Here are just a few. 

We are expecting 2 very stormy days. Because of that we finished an extra steep section today. To do that we walked 17.75 miles and are both a little tired.

It all looks fantastic! And those windy/stormy days will go into the category of "Retrospective Fun" =)

Thanks for the postings -- they're fun and awe-inspiring and travel-fever-inducing all at the same time. Almost 18 steep miles...whew...
