Joel, Thank you. You inspired my curiosity, and I opened Google Earth and followed Ruta 40 from the southern end of Argentina to the north end. It looks like a very scenic drive, but at 72 years of age I don't expect to actually travel it. The straight line distance is a little over 2,000 miles, and I'll bet the road itself is on the order of 5,000 miles, everything from mountainous forest to high-elevation (over 13,000 feet for some long stretches) desert.
I you would care to follow it for us, posting photos and your incomparable commentary, I would be thrilled to follow along vicariously!
Joel, Your traveling adventures like this one seem peacefull amidst the chaos of the world. A reminder to us , we need to find our peacefull places as well. Thanks

So beautiful! I'm like Gordon, not likely to get to do it, but how fabulous to see it!
Thanks for another geography/history lesson.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Vista Energy?
Joel, whatever happened to all the indigenous tribes that Sr Roca fought with?
