Pavement ended shortly out of La Paz, and our "camino" just get kept getting smaller...and smaller. Crossed a tiny footbridge over a river and the route became nearly obselete. With the help of llama herders we were able to find our way across the vast expanses of the Bolivian altiplano, through sand dunes and tiny "puentitas" until we arrived at the Salar de Uyuni, where we could pedal for what seemed like forever on the rock hard crystal surface that expanded beyond the horizon.

    Hi Jacob, Hat off to the three of you for the completion of what I'm sure was, at times, an extremely trying ride. Not sure of your ages, but when I was 22, I'm 49 now, I rode and pushed a bike around Australia. The conditions in those days, and the types of bikes, were completely different to now. Some of your mud and windy dry scenes bought back vivid memories. I still have a bike and I'm still doing great rides. It's something some of us never get over....mind you, some of us scrap the pushy after an epic ride and never go back to it.......

    Life may be a bit mundane and an anticlimax for a while.

    Pass on my congrats to the others.
