With a proper anchor, you could float part of the rivers I have seen.
No trouble getting back to your vehicle; the guides hitch-hiked and
immediately got a ride back to the truck. The rivers where not too
fast or the rapids that severe, making it possible for a Watermaster.
Ymmv, of course.


I've done short Class III sections in it ... and I'm a chicken ****

There are a couple Chile/Argentina ex-pat forums I check now and then and
several people have posted to the effect that hitch-hiking is safe and
efficient ... but, then many things that seemed plenty safe when I was
20something seem insanely death-defying now G



Can't help ya there, but I am told you are safer in Chile.


Currently, Argentina seems to be, maybe, headed back into serious internal
problems and it could get less safe, I hear. The world economy ( and
thus my own ) will effect whether my plans can be acted upon ... value of
the $$ etc



Shouldn't be any trouble staying that long. Showers/laundry/hygiene
could present a problem.

Oh, I have every intention of regular stays at hotels ... a couple days in
town, then several camped on the shore .. then repeat.


Bring lots of capilene (sp). It keeps
down the smell and dries quickly. d;o)


recycled Coke bottles, really good stuff ... long live the Earth !!




Sounds like a plan. Getting my wife away from her garden here in
Taxachusetts would be impossible, so I will die here,

I hope she is healing well ? My two friends that recently broke bones are
both doing better than some of us feared.
