What is this? A day without 3,000 feet of climbing? Feels like we are on vacation or something.
It was our coldest night of camping this trip at 39 degrees. We jumped out of the tent at 8am and Tom quickly made a fire in the stove in the community cocina. We hung out in there all morning until it warmed up.
Not much climb today but the road surface was 💩 with lots of chunk rock, so much washboarding and more dust. But… there was less traffic.
More Patagonian views made the extra effort worthwhile.
We stopped about half way through and found a place to get a hamburger after thinking there wouldn’t be any services at all. We met a fellow rider from Israel – just 24 years old and… our El Gato Del Dia.
We are missing our doggos of the day since we aren’t riding through towns. Surely there will be some in O’Higgins on Saturday or maybe before.🐾
Tom found a prime camping spot right on the bank of a stream flowing out of the Baker River. We’re turning in early since we have a big climb first thing and a ferry to catch. And we are pretty sure a lot of rain is moving in.
