Our next destination was El Bolsón, 1500 kilometers away along the unpaved Ruta Nacional 40. The 40 is a legend in Argentina, comparable to Route 66 in the States. It is hundreds of kilometers of dirt road from town to town, and the only thing one finds between them is beating wind and the occasional Guanaco. We had to hitch it. They said it was impossible due to the huge distances and the small number vehicles that pass through. We set out from El Chaltén on the 3rd of February and arrived in the hippie capital of Argentina a week later, dirty, exausted, and sucessful. Nothing is impossible.Friday, February 13, 2009
