The TMK's and myself departed La Paz on the 11th headed back to the "Death Road" in hopes of better weather. Didn't work out that way but it was a good ride just the same.

We decided to ride together up Ruta 3 to Trinidad and then down into Santa Cruz. It was great meeting up with Andi & Ellen again and heading into the Amazon region sounded like a good break from the cold and altitude. It was a six day ride, an extra day in Trinidad, mostly due to rough roads and construction delays however it was a great run!

The three of us agreed that the section of road from Coroico to Caranavi is the new "Death Road". The road was narrow, muddy and it was every man, woman and child for themselves.

We managed to squeeze through even though he wasn't going to give us an inch.

Andi & Ellen headed for Paraguay this morning and I'll be heading west in a day or two to see more of Bolivia before going there myself.
Good times!
