         on the ferry crossing the Magellan straits 
         
        
 
         
         
         
         we are not the only ones looking for adventure...
         
        
 
         
         the paved road ends and the real ruta 40 begins...consider this...inconsistant road surface, from paved perfect tarmac, smooth gravel, rough gravel with stones from pea size to fist size, ruts, sand, constant wind from the side always upto 70-90 mph, and sometimes gusts, sunshine, rain, wild llamas running in front of you, minimal gas stations, and that was just the first day!!!!
