First mile stone of the day. At some point yesterday I had traveled 10,000 miles since leaving Bellingham WA. A lot of pavement has passed under me in just shy of 4 months, wow!
One of the landmarks of any adventure rider doing South America is the "Hand in the Desert" sculpture. La Mano del Deserierto in the Atacama desert. We made sure it was a stop our our trip.
Locally know as La Mano, it's story is good and worth a google search.
We are now riding through the Atacama desert which according to all I've read hasn't had rain in over 600 years. Surprisingly it isn't all that hot in fact delightfully cool riding however you can feel the dryness.
Max and Jim, desert lunch break.
