March 24/25 - 900km through Northwest Argentina



The highlands are a big, empty and beautiful place.

Long gone is Chile with its cows, orchards and towns.  Even Mendoza feels like a different world.

This is big sky country.  You can see for nearly a hundred miles.  There´s no sign of human life all the way to the horizon.  It´s liberating and terrifying at the same time.

After the close call outside of Mendoza, thankfully this stretch went by smoothly.  900km of road road road.

Maybe being alone in the open ocean feels similar.

Make sure you disengage the parking brake before driving!

There used to be people here... but no more.
