Murias de Rechivaldo to Foncebadón

Hello, everyone.  Today, like yesterday,  was a more moderate walk. Strava clocked it as 23 km. It sounds so easy. The difference is, today was neither flat nor dry.

These progress markers have begun appearing. Murias at 4th one down is where we started today. El Ganso at the top was around midway. El Rabanal and Foncebadòn don't show on the marker.

For some reason there are giant teepees near the graveyard at El Ganso. Campground?

Wild bulbs in bloom beside the trail.

Strange, metallic beetle on the path, about the size of my thumbnail

Some of the wet, running path. This part was easy enough to pause for a photo. There were other parts with more stones, more water, and more mud. The way went mostly uphill today. I used my poles to keep balance while moving from spot to spot, and also to test the firmness of the surfaces.

Just before Foncebadòn, one last puddle to get around. (The blue-green blob up ahead is DH in his rain poncho.) The weather may have been wet, but it was warmer today. We actually took off layers of shirts and sweat shirts as we went.
