Larry Darrell: Bariloche, The Valley
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2009/03/bariloche-valley.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. Bariloche, The Valley. Fifty kilometers from Bariloche, on the border of Parque Nacional Nahuel Haupi, lies Valle Encantado. It’s a climber’s paradise, filled with rocky spires that sprout out of the ground like the fingers of God. It’s also private property. It was to be our most ambitious mission. The goals were as such:. 1) Build a raft. 2) Float down the river on the raft, camping as we travel. A modern Huck Finn tale. 4) Don’t get arrested. We failed to realize any of them.

Larry Darrell: El Bolsón
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2009/03/el-bolson.html
Saturday, March 7, 2009. El Bolsón is dangerous. You can be trapped there if you're not too careful. We thought we would pass through for a day or two. We stayed a week. El Bolsón rejuvinated us.

Larry Darrell: March 2009
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 14, 2009. Bariloche, The Lake. Lago Correntoso. One of the many bodies of water that span Argentina’s famous Lake District. Famous not only for being beautiful, but expensive. Full of quasi towns that popped up like weeds for the sole purpose of accommodating the hordes of tourists that visit year after year, we had a hard time finding a place without any human presence. Lago Correntoso served us well. Thursday, March 12, 2009. Bariloche, The Valley. 1) Build a raft. 3) Build a sauna in w...

Larry Darrell: October 2008
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Saturday morning we rose early on our own around 10. We had had our fair share of tranquility and we were ready to drink. Only problem was that we were missing the other two memb. Ers of the team. A taxi pulled up around 11 with the big cat from Iceland inside. Finnur, our faithful companion had arrived, ready to drink and toting a. hacky sac? It was time for some beer. Of course, we are too cool to be taking taxi's back and forth from town all the time, so we decided to g...

Larry Darrell: The Exodus
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2009/04/city-was-beckoning.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. The city was beckoning. It was already the first of March and school started for Haukur and myself on the ninth. Four months of travel were coming to an end. 1600 kilometers lay between us and Buenos Aires. Hitching as a team of three would take time. Time, we didn’t have. A brainstorming session of our options left us with the resolution to split up. We were going solo, but with a little flair. From Tres Arroyos it was a massive, pot-bellied trucker that took him the rest of the ...

Larry Darrell: December 2008
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Our final day in Villa General Belgrano was the biggest fiasco of all. We all woke around 10, everyone except for me so hungover that they wanted to. Do you guys think that was our bus? I asked our team. Everyone kinda stared at eachother for a good 15 seconds. "Yeaaaaa," responded everyone. We sat for another 30 seco. Fucking metric system). We made it to the bus station in one piece, but my knuckles were white from hanging onto the truck. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Larry Darrell: February 2009
http://chetta02.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Site It´s amazing work. Pétur didn´t arrive to El Bolsón until the next night. He, like us, had no luck in Tecka, only he got tired of waiting and left the town on foot. By the time Haukur and I passed him he had already walked several kilometers. Eight hours of walking and still nothing. Frustrated and exausted, he saw some Ostrich-like birds in the distance and gave up trying to get a ride to chase them down for a shot. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. The 40 Day Seven. We wer...
