Chile II
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 4:07 amEl Tabo's a nice, dusty little town, but it's got its fair share of newness. Only enough though. 
Just thought this random dog was the cutest (for lack of a better word) thing I'd seen in awhile.
I finally got to Cordoba's Fault. 'Tis a huge, well... fault! Unfortunately, I thought I lost my second memory card so I had to ration my photos. In all reality, and much to my relief, I had just left the danged thing in Santiago. Here's one of the nicer shots.
At one point in the trail (there's actually three) the only way to continue is a pipe which somebody had conveniently outfitted with a wooden handrail. Pipe's past this point are not so luxuriously adorned.
Unbeknownst to me, I had no idea photo rationing was not in my best interest. The first trail sticks to the riverbank, however this ends quite abruptly, and to continue you'll have to double back and take the second path. However, I had only known of two paths and I thought this path I was taking was actually the third. It was becoming increasingly difficult to continue though, and I didn't remember it being so difficult. I tried my luck and climbed up a rocky part, and as I had predicted, there was indeed a third path. This path was nice and open and scenic, but I was rationing photos! Past "The pipe" point, the path seems rarely trodden and is nigh impossible in some places to continue. I even had to be rock climber for a second or two! As such I worried more about keeping thorns out of my eyes and not losing my camera. So eventually the path banks so much that continuing mean risking dissapearing forever. Then I had to go back right into everything I had just fought through. Needless to say I was exactly in the mood to snap shots.
I did meet this grumpy little hiker though.
Updates to follow at a later date! ;)
