Some sheep came to drink but were very flighty. Only a few could settle their nerves enough to bob their heads to the spring to drink.Crossed the river into Paso del Sape. Fueled up even though we were ¾ full. Although there was an open Internet signal we could not connect properly. Couldn’t find fruit and veg but bought a salami. 40km’s south we met an Argentinian touring cyclist going our way. Stopped for a short chat. He is not doing the whole south American trip and the towns names he was traveling between were not familiar to me
The day has become
more interesting with color and shape in the hills. And the roads
were great; 80’s most of the time. Past another grader doing his
work. After the grader the road was a little more corrugated in
places but still 60-80 km/h dirt.
Lunched by the river. Nice to be away from all the tourists. Here we have 150km of river all to ourselves. Admittedly there are few tracks down to it.
At Paso de Indios we bought an ice cream each and found some tomatoes, sugar & pears. No Internet via movie star or wifi in the park.
We travel now on a
main sealed road with other traffic not much but too much. No tracks
off to the side and most of the road is fenced. Our turn off south
comes soon enough and back onto an unsealed minor road. Finally a small
unused track is spotted. I walked it first and found ruins and water
so signaled john in. A lovely quiet camp.
Seeing the ruins makes me wonder who lived here and why they left. This “house” was quite big with at least 6 rooms.
