Day 224 - Lake Puelo

(Ursula) After leaving this beautiful National Park (of which we have only scratched the surface), we briefly shopped in Esquel, refueled, and adjusted the tire pressure. The engine ran fine; everything looked good.

The wind was still blowing strong on Route #40 North. Passed the village of Leleque, we drove by a corral with hundreds of white sheep. It looked like they were held there for shearing. Heinz stopped to get some pictures, but it was challenging. The herd ran to the opposite side whenever he approached with his camera. It was so funny to watch.

Lake Epuyén seemed like a possible stay for the night, but I was unimpressed by the location. Instead, we continued up the valley and found a campground with a gorgeous view of Lake Puelo.

A pleasant evening walk along the shore and a game of Canasta after yet another savory meat dinner sealed the day.
