As we drove out of the river bed we noticed that a particular rock were all shattered.A beautiful day. Still, with no clouds. The mountains looked close.
Back out to Routa 40 65km - along routa 40 for 20km - then back up the south side of lago
Viedma. The lake is 80km long East West and about 17km wide. The road was a
little more interesting on this side. Not a lot of visitors come this
way. The road was a good quality yellow gravel road. At the parque
the guard spoke good
English
so we learned quite a bit.
The
farmers, originally, often did not have land title so the parque, when
formed, gave one of the family member the lease and when that person died the lease
was supposed to end. However
what normally happens is the farmer is allowed to buy a house block
about 10 hectares but they are not allowed to farm animals and are
encouraged to enter the tourism fray. As has happened to the property
here.
We were also told that this lovely still sunny days happens about
twice a year!!
We sat on the grass and had a late lunch (1400hrs). We asked about a small walk so out we went 3km along the lake. I did
not take poles so had a really rough time. Couldn’t bend left knee
so was walking stiff legged… Not so easy in some places…
Drove just out of the parque and camped just off the road. Two vehicles went by just before dark.
