@Giles This looks like a totally crazy amazing trip. Have so much fun. Lease tell Paula Happy NY from K and me.

Few snaps from my favourite viewpoint in the world.

Never gets old

This is my misty mountain view. There should be a volcano in this pic.....

This one

[endo]

wow, you're in Costa Rica? nice

[Giles]

My goal yesterday was to drive around Lake Arenal. When we got to this, Paula put the kybosh on it. I suggested that we wait until we saw another car cross, but that was rejected. We have a bleeding Land Cruiser Prado FFS.....

I'm waiting for the picture of the two of you perched on top of a Land Cruiser in the middle of a "shallow" ford

[Matt]

I would have lobbied hard for doing it. It’s probably best that you and I don’t travel together. At least not without wives.

[goosehd]

@motojobobo would have done that on his motorcycle. Just saying…

We be fucked, but would have hella fun doing it....

[Matt]

The stories the locals would tell would be epic. Stuff of legends. Or cautionary tales more likely.

[goosehd]

@Matt …mainly from the local ER Nurses.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I was wondering which one of the two would return, and how @Matt had got himself killed

[Matt]

As long as a sword and that volcano are involved I’m ok with it.

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago …probably from a combination of Piranha attacks and those fish that swim up the urethra.

[motojobobo]

@goosehd not before watching a local do it himself or carefully wading across ourselves to check it out. But it looks very doable. Water level appears to be at lower than maximum and the vehicle tracks show that it is a regularly used crossing.
These rocky river beds tend to be more straightforward than the sandy ones.

@Giles …see, the expert says to tell Paula to get out and check the water depth and to plan a route…

Yeah, that method should also work very well.

[Giles]

If no local came through and showed Paula it was possible, that is what I wanted to do,. There is a road marked around the whole of the lake, so it must be easily doable.. But even had I done the wade-and-test, the "have you seen the size of the track on the other side, it's non-existent, it clearly is never used" vibes coming through loud and very clear, meant it was a 100% no go....Had I had someone responsible with me, she may have listened.....

That leaves me out then I guess.
