It was a strange day yesterday and the photographs will attest to that; the sort of photos that normally might be -ahem -discards.
Our home in Puerto Montt a truck parking area of no particular merit except it’s mostly empty and we can sleep peacefully here. It works for us.
We were working to meet a guy I knew in Key West a decade ago who was vacationing in Argentina with his wife Karyn, and were driving a rental car to Puerto Montt to cruise the Carretera Austral.
Forest fires in Argentina have closed several border crossings so they got caught in a huge backlog at the one crossing that was open. Consequently we didn’t a fruitless day postponing lunch until dinner as we waited for them and our plans to drive north got delayed.
No big deal and we see some good mussels by ourselves for lunch and Layne and I shared a cake dessert plate when they arrived for dinner. Make it work…
They said hi to Rusty and checked out GANNET2 which is the sane Promaster as their commercially built camper they use to tour the US and Canada. I tried to reassure them that driving around South Snerica safe, always with common sense of course, but I’m never sure I’m believed. It’s hard to break down that fear of Latin America I find.
We can left Puerto Montt for the last time this year maybe as they drive south to take the ferry to Hornopiren. On the way Layne managed to catch a photo we have consistently missed on our way out of town, snoopy the rock. The light was bad and we were going 50mph but she got me the memory.
Wednesday we want to be camping among the lakes near Pucón. Petals we will have a story to tell.

It's fortunate you delayed posting the 'Snoopy rock' photo till today, 12 Jan... it's the anniversary of Charles Schultz decease (12 Jan 2000). [Thank you NPR!]
