Yesterday and today we went out into a previously unworked territory, mapping it out by GPS, on our borrowed ATV. We figured we had this all worked out and would have a GPS verfied map in our hands in no time.
Ha.
Left the quad behind after 20 minutes on the second day. The 'roads' here are ROUGH.
Came across this massive stunner.
Friendly people everywhere.
Friendly rivers too, as my coordinator found out.
A Not at Home.
Luckily this river had a bridge.
Alfonso was happy too.
Gorgeous views throughout. Waaayyyy off in the distance, you can see the 'road' we left our ATV on.
Rest time, three hours in.
This may look like fun, but I was about ready to leave my borrowed ATV here permanently.Summing it up, we had a great time and are prepping to return for a three day hike / camp expedition with our wives so we can penetrate deeper into the outback. Just as we turned around, the last guy told us ahead a few kms was a little town. Hmmmm....
Man! Witnessing AND camping.
ReplyDeleteYou've got it made bro.
My only question is...are the mosquitoes and black-flies as bad as they are in Northern Ontario? or do you have something even more sinister lurking in the jungle?
I think I could handle spiders and snakes. The possibility of running into wild animals doesn't really bother me.
But Mosquitoes...
They've ruined more than one wilderness trip for me...:-)
Take care Paul and Chris.

Incredible pics, Bro. But, but ... bridge? I say it again ... are you nuts?!
