Odometer:5060.1 miles
Arrived today with daylight left and without incident. But, it feels like I've been here before. The first photo shows the rod along the lake, look closely along the shore on the left. The second photo is taken when I got closer to the mountains, which are the background in the first photo. The third photo is what the road looks and feels like, except you can't see the mountains for the trees and the camera just couldn't capture it. The fourth is one of many lakes and ponds and waterfalls along the way. The last photo does not really show how much snow was on top of the pass into Coihaique. The top 6 miles had me a bit worried as the snow was not melted by the sun over the last 2 days. It was only about an inch deep in the middle of the road, so not too bad. Just hope there are no more opportunities to demonstrate control on ice, but I am loosing the battle with trying to move north faster than winter is setting into the Andes. Day light hours are getting short. The sun angle is not too steep any more at high noon. As I drive north it makes it as high as bothersome to look into. As you can tell in all the photos, 82 and sunny.
