We had some great weather to ride out of San Juan – warm and sunny. And some awesome roads albeit a little straight in some places.
The flatlads gaveway up to some hilly wine country with lots of vineyards and some gorgeous estates.
The rest of the day was pretty much just ride and gas and repeat – until it was time for finding a place to stay.
We were kind of in the middle of nowhere and it was getting late – so we decided to ride up a small road that ran along a river with the hopes of finding a spot. The wind was howling and we probably covered about 20 miles up the road looking for a spot – we were almost to a small town and figured we would just hit the town and find someplace to stay. John decided to check out one more little side road and he found an awesome campsite that looked protected from the wind – at least a bit.
The little canyon was about 20 miles from Chile and we were at probably 5,000 elevation.
Wes went for a firewood run using his KLR pick-up truck to bring back a load.
We had a great fire, told a few stories and even the wind died down a little bit so we could sleep that night.
Cheers!
