Topography: Flatter than you could possibly believe. Winter is clearly on its cruel and windy march. The corn has been harvested and the fields are barren.

Weather: Ominous clouds threatening all day to erase the surprising warmth of a blazing day. Perfect walking weather, but very eerie, what with all the missing corn.

Landmarks: Several churches and plenty of town signs to let us know we were actually making progress, considering we felt as if we were on one of those never ending Flintstone's sets.
