Travelin’ Mind – Captivated by natural beauty.
/0 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanReflecting on the early part of my journey when I rode the Alaskan Highway through Northern BC, the Yukon and to Haines, and then the Canadian Rockies and down through Glacier National Park into Montana, I’m remember how much the mountains, snow, ice and vast expansiveness of these natural settings captivates me. In one post […]
Onward to El Chalten – Youngest town in Argentina.
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allan“Lo siento, Allan. No hay disponible por este noche,” Sebastian, the tall lanky son of the owners of Hosteria Los Nires in El Calafate said as he pulled the ear buds from his ears. He admired my motorcycle, my journey and enjoyed our several conversations about Argentina. At the time of checking in I had […]
Warmth of Friends. Chill of Icy Waters — Hanging in the balance at El Calafate.
/7 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanRainbow from yesterday’s ride. I’m enjoying El Calafate. There are good restaurants, services a plenty and it’s a place where travelers congregate. It’s a jumping off point for many places in Patagonia including El Chalten (Fitz Roy), Torres del Paine, and the legendary Ruta 40’s southern section. For me it’s a perfect opportunity to take […]
Sights & Sounds of Perito Moreno Glacier.
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanMorning rains and gray skies dissuaded me from taking an early morning hourlong ride to the Perito Moreno Glacier until later in the afternoon. By the time I took the road along the lake I was treated to a massive rainbow over the now turquoise blue Lago Argentina. Of course, the winds had another bout […]
Fighting The Wind To El Calafate
/2 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanIt was one on one with the wind today. Argentina’s grand Ruta 3 runs along the Atlantic coast more than 2,000 miles from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and the Fin del Mundo (end of the world). Today the legendary Patagonian wind whipping from the West across the pampas continued to hammer me with punches, smacks […]
Comodoro Rivadavia to Comodante Piedrabuena (don’t you love these names?)
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanThe next morning the parking attendant at my fancy hotel helped me get Doc up on the center stand for a good chain lubing. I was ready to hit the pavement and brave the winds on Ruta 3 south toward Piedrabuena. For the first 150 miles the road was in bad shape with potholes, construction, […]
To Know Forty. Or no to Forty? These questions perplex me.
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanIn looking at the map I figured taking Ruta 40 to El Calafate via Rio Mayo to Tres Lagos would take me 3 to 4 days. By crossing the South American continent to the Atlantic side then riding south to Comandante Piedrabuena, I could shave one or two days from this estimate. I’d ride 80 […]
