Once again we tried to stay away from the main roads. Rhe roads we traveled were quite damaged by the weight of the trucks passing.

We saw two animals get chased from the road by a car and realized that they were trying to rescue their young who had been hit. We stopped and the car behind was a little annoyed. John was not quick enough to get a photo of the parents (raccoons perhaps). We drove on and the guy from the car behind got out and picking the young one up by the tail carried it over to the road side.

We were traveling lots of steep little hills and followed a truck who’s brakes were smoking.

We ran into a downpour just before we arrived at another hydro-electricity dam, we camped at the far end of the wall. The air has become quite cool so we had a hot chocolate followed by a hot shower. First in a month or so. Nice not being really hot and sticky all the time.
