fuzzyimages: melventurous: oregontopatagonia: Hundreds of kilometers of dirt roads are made much easier by proud smiling fjords leaning right over the water. I swear I am always almost crashing from the beauty. Chile is currently paving this entire stretch of road, it should be done in three years. I am glad because I want people to see this place. But it is also a loss. I remember reading in Cannery Row or somewhere Steinbeck was driving to La Jolla (near San Diego) and the entire coastal road south of LA was dirt. Dirt roads promise fewer cars and fewer people. The dust is a bastard but the quiet long distances between cars is worth so much. I feel like I am one of the last few who will know this stretch of road in its virginal and empty majesty. Like an Eden engorged with its secret beauty, untainted by eyes. #oregontopatagonia #chile #patagonia #carreteraaustral (at La Junta) This is just such a beautiful journey. I love getting these snippets of this guys adventure! So comforting and also very inspiring. Gravel foreverrrrrr! -- source link
