Bariloche, Argentina

I am in the northern outskirts of Patagonia. I am going by boat south on the 12th. Until then, I have time to trek around here. Unfortunately though, most of the trails I was hoping to do are still covered with snow. I asked at the information place and they gave some alternatives but not exactly what I want. I said that this is the wrong time of year to visit and they said no, not the wrong time, just the wrong year. Supposedly, this has just been a harsh year with erratic weather patterns. So, we shall see what will happen in the mountians. I did not bring snowshoes or plastic boots. Boo hoo.

Hope all is well, look at you Martin and your bum knee. Speaking of it... have you gotten it cut up yet? Are you rehabing now?
