Day 632: July 29, 2025
ODO: 342,506 This campground is so nice and quiet that we continue enjoying our rest. But actively resting, we take a casual stroll around town, which takes us about fifteen minutes. There are three hot (warm) pools, one indoor, one outdoor, and one half and half. There is also a small block of stores, and…

Day 625: July 22, 2025
ODO: 341,850 Its pouring rain. Our ride is very punctual. The truck battery is dead when we arrive. Damnit. This is why we have the little jump box. We settle up. They don’t change us for electricity. We have nowhere to go, so we stay and take a nap in the truck, in the barn.…

Day 596: June 24, 2025
ODO: 341,112 We should’ve done more stuff yesterday!! It’s hustle out of here time. Laundry needs to be dropped off for rush service due to another holiday on Friday. After days of rain, we finally get some sun, which brings out the mosquitos (winter mosquitos?!? Why???). Mud and mosquitoes are not ideal prep conditions, but…

Day 589: June 17, 2025
ODO: 341,040 Another day, another wintery beach (the things you get used to!). There are no coastal roads, so we drive back inland before heading back towards the ocean again. We see three armadillos (we’ll never get used to that)! It’s always windy in Argentina, today we get to drive straight into it. It’s a…

Day 582: June 10, 2025
ODO: 340,332 We need to do some real maintenance today, our wheel bearings need to be swapped out. It’s been on the list since leaving Bolivia, so Berne gets after it. KoKo is still pretty sick, so she spends the day in quarantine inside the camper. Last time we stayed in this campground, we had…

Day 575: June 3, 2025
ODO: 338,918 The day starts with a long overdue oil change, and a little planning. We have another trip home on the books for mid June, and we don’t know where we’re going to fly there from yet. In the meantime, there is a mountain lake, and maybe hot springs, with our name on it.…

Day 568: May 27, 2025
ODO: 338,547 The water has stopped. Water, specifically hot water on demand, is the one thing this campground has going for it. There have been unusually heavy rains lately, that have washed too much sediment into the reservoir. Heavy equipment has already been dispatched, we are not the only ones going without right now. The…

Day 561: May 20, 2025
ODO: 338,492 We spend another week in the same place. We’re never done this before, stayed put for so long. Luckily we have some projects to get after: After all these projects, and a couple lazy days, it’s Santiago exploration time. Being so settled in, it takes us until late afternoon to pack up. Downtown…
