Day three we decided to follow the tracks and cut some distance off our trek while still following the wall.  In the first photo you can see the Wall if you look hard, and the second is the Wall right next to the tracks. 

 Day four we came across what we refered to as Camel Town; there were more than a dozen camels lazing around this little village.  The middle photo is of an entranceway into a house.

 Believe it or not, there aren’t many old buses in China, so I snapped a pic of this old workhorse who’s just fulla character!  Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu

Here’s a few roadside views.

 Here’s Ig walking off into the sunset near a house that’s built right into a beacon tower!

And here’s day 5 before the cold and rain came storming in.
