Petrificado

Posted on April 16, 2012 by angela4 Comments

The major highways here are not Veedub friendly. And, they really freakin' hate Westies. We continued to try to avoid Mother Nature's attempts to make us a convertible. Our next detour required about 100 miles of dirt. Although we were happy to be off the highway, the weather gave us one more kick in the pants ...

Introducing QuickMutt™

Posted on April 15, 2012 by jason2 Comments

Dad, he followed me half-way home! -Bode Well, he turned out to be a she, and we're not sure what happened with the other half of the way home, but QuickMutt™ was immediately welcomed into camp. The municipal campsite in Puerto San Julian was so nice (even Wi-fi) and the weather so good, we stayed a few days ...

Into The Wind

We were really excited about reaching Ushuaia, but didn't commemorate it like our friends. Between the mohawks and the Tierra del Fuego foot tattoos, they're sure not going to forget this accomplishment. We celebrated our arrival at El Fin del Mundo and M.C.'s birthday with a fancy dinner. Bode talked us into celebrating his birthday a ...

Ruta J – The Very End

Posted on April 9, 2012 by angela10 Comments

Ushuaia is the southernmost town on our route - and the destination we've been telling people for years.  But, it's possible to drive just a bit farther south. "Ruta J" leads out through Estancia Harberton.  But, what we were after was literally the end of the road. Since it's still fall here, the colors were ...
