Took a 40 mile loop drive around the Puerto Blanco mountains today. Nice sunny day and it turned out warm too. Lots of great views, saw rabbit and coyote(s). Two coyote sightings but they may have been the same critter, if he moved faster than the truck. Now these roads are gravel and only graded occasionally, so it's slow going. 15 mph speed limit but driveable between 10 and 30 depending on the location.
Got back to camp about 3 and sat in the sun with our books. Then walked around and met the other Vermonter in camp. Mike is from Belvediere, left home Nov.2 and due back second week of April (like us). His third winter of travel but first time west, he's been wintering in FL but had enough of that. Likes this place.
We like it here too. First planned on 3 nights, now 4, can't decide where to go next so we're staying until Monday! Still no idea where to go next but we have 5-6 weeks to get home so why rush it. This place is beautiful, quiet, uncluttered and uncrowded. It's hard to think of a better place. And only $16/night.
