…and to get again down the opposite aspect to Chile in a single piece in our 9400 pound Promaster, GANNET2 from Key West.
However there’s a narrative that begins at 5500 ft the day earlier than. You knew that proper? Wilderness wild tenting wanting on the low grey clouds obscuring the mountains.
It was chilly and grey and no method we needed to climb up these fog shrouded mountains. We’d haven’t any views and the roads are crappy sufficient with out having issues seeing the place we have been going.
So we drove as much as Las Flores the final village earlier than taking the freeway to Chile.
Fog. This didn’t look promising.
However after we arrived in Las Flores the solar miraculously got here out and the gasoline station attendant was as excited as we have been. “It’s been grey and cloudy” he stated as we crammed with common gasoline (Tremendous 95 in Argentina at $3:50 a gallon).
It was too late within the afternoon to cross the border, 100 miles to get to Chile and half of it gravel, so we went in search of someplace to spend the evening.
Las Flores was a fairly city within the afternoon sunshine.
We went in search of a wild camp above a close-by synthetic lake.
It was a windy afternoon as you possibly can see.
These loopy formations are wind sculpted clay.
