14 And now the border drive south

Well an interesting night . Great meal at the bush camp followed by an early night as we are to be up early and the rain is approaching. Bedding down is easy and I even get read my kindle.
1am and the world is ending ! Big Winds on our lakeside ledge ! Tent is blowing in and buffeting badly . We survive but then there is talk and shouting outside and very strange yelps and it’s not another disco . In the morning we discover that a coyote came to visit and people were shining torches and was a bit too close!
Laguna verde is an early stop
as we contemplate the time taken to get through customs at los Antiguos
Okay paperwork was going well and no search and the a missing form / 2 hrs.
On the road supermarcado shop and marmalade or as close as it comes ! We press on and Winnie the Pooh would be happy as a bloody windy day under the blue sky and sun !
Argentina re-election. Results - chain saw man wins by a good margin/ slice ? Maybe the 150percent inflation will be affected . The cost of goods here is so much cheaper than Chile!
Travelling across the bleak flatlands keeps the truck wobbling but we still have sunshine.
Off-road for a while and a special visit to Cueva de las manos , prehistoric paintings on the side walls of a verdant river rift valley from 9000 to 13000bc . Four galleries of over 800 paintings and by the Tondense people - all but a few are left hands painted by right handed! It was discovered in 72 ! It’s a great 2km walk down the side of the valley showing also animals esp. guanacos , hunts, calendars and coincidentally one hand with six fingers !!!! My ancestors ?
The day is still very sunny with the wind - a 70k trek now to find a bush camp.
No camp - too windy ! Hostel !Baca lagi
