next to the highway. A storm blew through leaving us trapped for several hours.
This really put us behind schedule forcing us to make camp in the middle of nowhere; we found this semi sheltered spot just outside of El Sosneado, it was blowing a gale, the wind roaring through the trees so fiercely I really expected to find the bike on its side in the morning. I didn't get much sleep!
We packed up camp early the next day to take advantage of the calmer conditions. But this didn't last long. We continued to follow the ruta 40 south, I would send our location details whenever we stopped.
Two sections of the route was unpaved - around 90km of pure hell! I was down to 35km/h praying not to loose control of the bike on this very loose rocky surface.
After doing battle with the wind for many hours we made it to the Municipal camp site in Chos Malal well before sunset and I finally had a shower after two days!
