Continued on Ruta 3
not a lot of options. Topped up with fuel in Commandante Luis
Piedrabuena
Trying to keep the
tank full as the other is out of action - I think it will leak from
the movement of the outlet when taking the pump off.
We stopped by another park entrance but it was closed due to the rain. Decided to stop at the headquarters which was at the estancia but it was closed also. We parked near by and as I was getting lunch John used the jack and the vehicle to "press" the new table bearings into place. Worked like a charm. However the parks guy who was not there to welcome us came and told us we could not change oil or camp where we were!!! No welcome to park sorry it is closed....
Finally after 400km
on Ruta 3 and backtracking 1km we turned off on a little dirt road
and headed out to the beach and the natural reserve Bahia Laura.
It was more comfortable following the locals and drive off the road in the gutter!
After 23km we
turned onto a smaller road and after 37km camped on the edge of the
road at dusk.
The full moon looked
fantastic.
464km
