Our friendly truckie beeped us on his way passed this morning at 7.30
We decided on a loop south back toward La Sarena and hopefully an early camp.
The road took us up to nearly 1000 m and into the fog. We did get up above it but back into it on the downward leg.
Found a sign which
indicated that a further road that we would not travel on would be
closed, which was fine. Another 20 km and we got to a road closed
sign. John got out to chat to a farmer to ask if road was open. John
got the impression we could get through to where we needed to get.
Well the road looked
like it was being worked on and had been widened in areas. We found
the digger which was having a weekends rest. We found the road closed
sign from the other end which indicated "to our Spanish", that the road
was closed 24km behind us!! Found an early camp just south of
La Sarena with Internet.
I booked us into a
hotel for tomorrow night while John read board papers. John will need
good Internet for the board conference call tomorrow night.
Finally feeling trust towards the workings of the stove so we siliconed it down holding it in place with the leveling blocks and a rock of which there are hundreds to choose from.
