Oct. 3. For the history loving me, this was going to be one of the neatest days. We were to walk a dozen km along the Via Romana, built during Caesar Augustus’ reign. It was an amazing road to walk through the countryside, but the relatively narrow stone road was buried under a foot of sand and rock to make the road wider. It didn’t feel as dramatic without seeing the paving stones. It also was a tough day because along this remote route all the stores and restaurants were closed for Sunday. Thankfully we had enough snacks and water to make it to our destination after 24.0 km at. . . El Burgo Ranero, León, Castille y León, Spain.
Tall rubber boots are likely required for most of the caches. Some of the ditches are very steep.
