It would be fun to meet up with you and Antonio some time (on the 950's).

Thanks, we are home now, but WHEN we go back, we'll look ya up.

YOGOI · 06-30-2011, 08:38 PM

Off to La Serenaer then over the mountain, back to Argentina. 1600 feet oh ya.

So, we got to the boarder X, and as we were there the rain started coming down hard. I made a joke to the boarder X guard about having camping. The next thing I knew we were set up to camp at the boarder X'ing. They were great and saved us a very wet night. Try that in the US.

Next up, the Baja.

That mud on the 40 is slick stuff, huh? Glad you guys weren't banged up any worse. It's weird seeing the places I rode through when they are dry.

good times!

We leave our customs friends, and find a place in Chilecito for the night.
Then we find a great place in Arena del Rio with home made wine. We stay the night there, and then ride into Salta.

This was the Baja (to us).

One for the Jeep fans

Our Hostel in Chilecito

Our Hostel in Arena Del Rio (Misery Goat, The best wine of the whole trip!!!).

Its decision time. Do we do Bolivia or Southern Chile????

Misery Goat · 07-02-2011, 10:25 AM

Hey, I stayed in Chilecito. Did you go up through Belen?? There were 2 DEEP river crossings on the north and south side of the town. I met a Dane on a F800 GS in Cafayate and he had to detour a couple hundred miles out of the way b/c he didn't want to risk the crossings.

Where is Arena del Rio?? From Cafayate I went to Belen, Chilecito, then Mendoza.

And you know my vote is to go to Bolivia.

We took the same route (in reverse). There was water on the road, but just a little for us, the kind you slow down and splash through.

Maybe I have the name wrong, but Area del Rio was just south of Cafayate. Maybe just out side of Colalao del Valle.
