Looked like a sunny start, but then a lot of rain and mud. Incredible photos and landscape there, the stuff of legends. BTW: I'm no expert in church architecture, but I think the one you're showing is not German - perhaps a Norwegian stave church? Keep up the spirit and make your way down safely to Ushuaia. Argentina is a big country and getting all the way down there before fall will set in will take some good effort. Good luck! Cheers, Thomas. Great side-trip to your bike adventure.

Greg is buying hiking shoes in Santiago. Soon you will be biking and hiking together again, I think. Enjoy the Holidays and thanks for sharing your adventures.

I loved reading the play by play of your trip complete with incredible photos! It looks (and sounds) like a beautiful and good trip even though it rained so much. Excellent!

Not about being stranded though. Good stuff, man. Glad you and the Hawk are alright. When I heard Hawk was coming down to meet you, I just knew you were going to have some stories.

He did a pretty good job himself of keeping us alive "We need to regularly check on each other for signs of fatigue and hypothermia".

Interesting that their habitat extends to way south in Chile.
