Cabo Virgenes – The Continental Bottom.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanMy Argentinean friends claimed that Cabo Virgenes is actually the southern most point of the South American continent. While Ushuaia is the southern most city in the world, fact is, it’s on an island. Looking at the map I’m confused. There seems to be some points in Chile that are still “continental” proper and ultimately […]
Accident In Tierra del Fuego. New Friends at Borders.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, Chile, South America, Travelogue /by allanMy Tierra del Fuego. From a logistical point of view visiting Tierra del Fuego on a motorcycle requires patience, a good attitude and a little bit of time.

More Than The Bottom of the World.
/4 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanUshuaia is much more than a sign at the end of the road. So here I am. In Ushuaia. Luck and good fortune allowed me to reconnect with Bepe, my long lost friend from a year and a half ago in Alaska. But the beauty of adventure motorcycle travel is the camaraderie and friends old […]
There Are No Coincidences. Are there? Hello Ushuaia!
/4 Comments/in Argentina, Chile, South America, Travelogue /by allanWild Guanaco’s grazing the pampas of Tierra del Fuego with the ominous mountains rimming the horizon. Tierra del Fuego. I lost count how many times I said this phrase when answering the questions of where I was headed. Land of Fire. Magellan named it as such because of the plumes of smoke and flames that […]
