More time with the Hupps

As long as it didn't look as though it was dead I'm happy with that. Onwards southbound again bumped into a German (who else?) riding a HP2 (a sportier version of our bikes) also going from Alaska to Argentina - taking 7 months ...

The sunset was very serene and seemed like a fitting end to my adventure in the Rincon wilderness. I was 5 minutes late to the trail head but Ernie hadn't yet arrived so I took off my pack, emptied the rocks out of my boots, leaned back on the bench and smiled an easy, contented smile as I waited for my ride back to civilization.
