Be warned this report contains titi and pussy .. right on the side of the road
IMG_7992 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrThe planned climbed, 12 km up a gravel road, big motos on the short list for theft we opted to hitch a ride to the carpark then hike the rest.
Walking along the road to the turnoff we then thumbed a ride, first car came along, she said I can take you about 1 km ….no worries good start.
After she left the sum total of one car went past
and didn’t stop
so we ended up walking the entire distance other than 1 km ….not quite
what we planned, good chance to sweet out the bad doodoos that had been
plaguing us.On the way up there is a place called El Bosque, Tallado which has caving in trees that have fallen, neat work.

IMG_8113 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrArriving at the Refugio Piltriquitrón we had great views of El Bolson and the valley.
IMG_8109 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrOrganising to stay the night there we got sorted and enjoyed our food which we had carried up (knowing the refugio food was extremely expensive), the weather although ok has some bad looking intentions
IMG_7998 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrOur dinner, yes an asado with wine, worth every bit of weight

IMG_8008 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrThe bad weather intentions were realized, El Bolson by night through a wet window, nice to be inside
IMG_8018 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrA good night was had with chats with Italians and Argies all of them astounded that we had ridden from Alaska for the last three years, we told them there were a lot of riders doing similar trips (maybe not so long on only two islands tho
)...I also had a wee mate who was happy to trade warmth
