Yesterday we crossed Paso de Agua Negra, the highest pass between Chile and Argentina. Think poorly maintained single lane Forest Service Road with more switch-backs that you can count while paying attention not to ride over the edge and you have a pretty good idea what it was like.
We rode a long time yesterday, 8 am to 9:30 pm, with a 4 hr border crossing (Props to the border folks for helping Jim who was NOT feeling well.)
Here are some pics of the days, since once again, I am in a hurry and don't have much time to type much. The really hard charging is behind us. I should have ample time tonight.

| Parked in the hallway of our hotel last night. It was fun riding them through the front door. Had to ride up two steps with about 6 inches clearance on each side! |

| Looks flat on top, but it was NOT flat on the approach. |

| A small ruin at the last Argentine checkpoint. |

| Las Motos! |

| In Jachal they like their heros grumpy. |

| In Jachal. |

| Vincente and his wife. Much more about them later. |
