Manigango is the sort of town that would be a one-horse town, were it not full of horses. And dogs, and yaks.

From here, the scenery changes from the deep cut gorges of the Yangtze/Jinshajiang valley to more open, higher, rolling grassland. At this time of year, everything is very dry and brown.

Another pass, and a kicking headwind.

After yesterday's experience, I keep my shades on today.

Giant hamsters, or are they dwarf elephants, are everywhere on the frozen tundra-prairie.
