Esquel to Rio Mayo and the weather isn't looking so good. It rained some and the wind was getting stronger each hour:

The sky cleared but the wind got stronger. This part of Ruta 40 is paved however this section was under construction, I was being pushed all over the place.

Good wifi has eluded me for some time now however here in Rio Mayo things are working great. I decided to stay here for the day and catch up on the blog and take a rest day. I'm a bit dehydrated, the cold wind is taking it out of me and I haven't been drinking enough.
My SPOT tracker is having a difficult time finding satellites this far south, Rio Mayo might be the last mark.
