@Denimhead-0 I feel the same as old guys don't get where they are by repeating the mistakes of our youth...I still do stupid stuff, but now I think twice about doing it

@goosehd I’ve got so much dumb/stupid stuff in the bank that I should be a very wealthy man. Hoping not to make any more deposits,but every now and then I’ll do something,and that voice says you just don’t want to learn do you.

Or how’d you ever get to be this old.

@goosehd yup! Thinking twice before you do something dumb just makes you feel half as smart when it goes wrong. Lol

…thanks for the laughs gentlemen!! To bring this back full circle, I would rather have made those stupid mistakes and say I have lived, then to spend my life saying I wish…

My body disagrees with that though…

Kicked off a new bike trip today, YAAAYYYY!!
If all goes as planned, this one will be a good 27-30 days 8k km.
Heading south towards Argentina and later, Chile.

First real trip on the Guzzi.

@motojobobo Looking forward to seeing your updates man.

Made some progress over the last few days.

Day one: home to Sucre:

Road blocked for half an hour as a car race crossed the road.

This bike is turning out out to be a fine traveler!

Houses used to be built of sun-dried mud blocks around here.

Homes for livestock deserved to be built with longer lasting material

Day two: Sucre to Villazon

The slit between the two ridges has a mid-size river flowing across.

This is the other, shaded side. The tunnel is less than 200 mts long. Place is called El Angosto, unsurprisingly…about 20 km km from Tupiza.

Day three: Villazon - Bolivia to Cafayate - Argentina

Sits at 2800 mts and mornings are chilly around here.

Loved the backlit effect on these woolly alpacas; probably my favorite pic so far.

At 3800 mts, 9 am is still quite cold when moving at 100 km/hr. sitting still in the sun warmed me up in about 10 minutes.

A cloud forest between Jujuy and Salta. Now I’m back down to 700 mts. A super dry year is making this usually lush vegetation look quite beaten down.

Liked the monotone clay-colored backdrop with a bit of sky. Nearing wine country! Cafayate.
