The ride north from the end of the road was uneventful and beautiful. The day was perfect. really enjoyed it. the next day I was heading to Argentina through another pass in the mountains. However, my bike stopped cooperate 14 km from the border in the middle of nowhere. There was no traffic here. I stopped the first car which came by after two hours. They sent a border guard patrol to rescue me. They took me 120 km back to the town. I hired a truck next day which took me to the bigger town with motorcycle shop. Diagnosis, a dead battery. Replaced it and bike is running again. I spent three days over here and I'm ready to get on the road again. The next is another attempt to get to Argentina. I hope I will be more successful than the last time.
