Death Road to Carmargo..
Right before we headed into the unknown..we stopped to top off our air shocks and tires. It was lucky we did, because Tyler noticed a flat tire on the inside of own of our rear duallies.
Ty has officially taken to knitting.
Some folks in Potosi told us that it was 7 hours on a dirt road. There was absolutely nothing out there….truely Bolivian wilderness. 8 hous later we saw a small sign pointing to Carmargo.
The last bit of light revealed this marginal single laned road. We spent the night driving a nasty road etched into the side of the cliff, and dropping over 10,000 feet into the desert. It took us over 16 hours altogether to make it from Potosi to Carmargo. It was the most extreme conditions that baby has taken on yet, and this is only the beginning of our stint through Bolivia.

Such adventures (and misadventures), and all for the cause of posterity.
Eyes glued to this site. Rooting for you both and glad that you have found time to party and surf a little.
Remember me? Great grandmother, (would you believe it, i can’t) that ran into you at The Station in Oracle, Az.
Glad that your Moms met up with you. Such sweet young men.
