Camino Photo of the Day: Off the Plateau and into the Woods

The way down off of the Aubrac plateau started out a little rough, as you can see. But there was a heat wave, and getting under tree cover was a very good thing, even this early in the morning. Also, I had hiking poles, so how bad could it be?

Maps!

If you’re the sort who looks at the maps, you’ll note that the stage shown is 32+km long. I split this up into two days, since I wanted to spend some time exploring both Saint-Chély-d’Aubrac and Saint-Côme-d’Olt, both of which are on the list of most beautiful villages in France.
