12 Radio silence on road to Coyhaique

We had a quieter earlier night as we’re up at 6am for a road trip and hoping we are luckier with the weather ! Last nights rainbow was not the promise of gold we hoped for - more bad weather!
I was warm last night but couldn’t get to sleep really and the 5am call came quickly.
It’s windy and we are told we
Have a lot of miles to do .
The weather isn’t good ahead and proposed trip to the hanging glacier isn’t going to happen as apart from work on the park we won’t be able to see it in the low mist!
We are into the mountains and waterfalls and rivers and some dismal weather conditions! We pass by huge lago Yeltcho and through the Macizo Nevada.
Finally we reach a proper road and the jumps and bounces give way to a smooth ride- it’s only 10am with more to go !
As an aside we did manage to
Book the Perito Moreno Glacier and Boat Safari for next week!
It’s Saturday and the truck is
Quiet and relatively empty - four covid isolating and three others who are missing camping and will rejoin us later after our frolics !
We are back on the zig zag route up the mountain and into the snow . Impressive views and cold air in the Queulat national park as we travel down the main route Caretteror Austral.
We finally arrive at 6 and we are dining in town and not wild camping but camping in a camp site and big news … it’s warm and not raining !!!!yippeeRead more
