Day 18: From Mezad Tamar to Be'er Efe

This was a fairly uneventful day. As it was a relatively short walk today (18km), I started a little later (around 7:00) to wait for it to warm up a bit (the night was freezing!). After a few kilometers, the path went under a conveyor belt that takes minerals from the dead sea for processing (it wasn't working while I was there)



There were some menacing signs warning you not to go to Wadi Ashalim (because of pollution), but thankfully the Israel trail keeps clear of the polluted part



There were no large climbs or descents either, lots of wide open spaces


I passed a science experiment, not really sure what they were doing





Nice rock!


There were some interesting cloud formations in the late afternoon



I arrived at a reasonable hour at Be'er Efe, and found the water cache. I missed the abandoned building from the previous night (it was freezing!) but relatively peaceful (apart from the sound of the jackals howling in the night, and some light traffic on the road)
