Wild Camping Tierra Del Fuego

We had two days and nights of dry weather here and we took advantage wild camping last Estancia Harberton. Happy New Year everyone and thanks for the comments. 















You’ve got this far in the picture stack do as a reward you can salivate over my favorite bread in the world. Literally in my d tire life. 

It’s called Cremona bread for unknown reasons, possibly because the original baker came from the Italian city of Cremona. 

It’s what the English call a “tear and share” loaf. It’s not sweet but it has a flaky texture and a delicious flavor , just bread but I really like it. 

And I’ve only ever seen it in Argentina. Sorry about that. 
And then on Monday the rain began so we felt we had to move owing to a stretch of highway that reportedly turns into a muddy ice rink in the rain.
This is the clay section that retains water which was between us and Ushuaia. 
Estancia Harberton across the water.   
The gravel road doesn’t retain water where there isn’t clay. 


We drive a couple of miles past the ranch and came to another camping area. I had time to walk Rusty a bit, set up Starlink as there’s no cell signal down here and the drizzle started. 

It’s a bit far inland and the views aren’t great but it’s well drained and flat and we will be snug here until tomorrow when we have to return to Ushuaia to meet friends flying into town. 

There are no cows grazing nearby to freak Rusty out. That’s a plus. 

That’s the road to Harberton with a tour bus climbing the hill. 

Before they got modern and built bridges the rivers were crossed at fords. At first I thought these were launch ramps, my Florida brain, but the waters won’t float a kayak. 

Netflix and chill in a quiet spot where there should be no fireworks to bother Rusty and we get overlanding friends with their dog stop by for a glass of wine. 

Left you her trio jealous this is summer in Tierra Del Fuego. 

I hope the new year is more peaceful for all of us than it’s prospecting to be, but we may get lucky. We’re lucky to be here and I hope you feel the sage wherever you are even if you aren’t lucky enough to live in 70 square feet.

I've had a hard time getting to read your blog because AT&T says it is a dangerous site and not secure because it tries to install software or do phishing. I finally was able to override it so I can see it, but you may want to look into it because many people may be blocked like I was.

I’m sorry about that. I took it up with Godaddy and I bought the security certificate that gives the site the s designation on the url until it first seen to work for everyone. Thanks for your persistence.
