Walter Hailes Rejoins Group! .... or so the headlines read for this team of hearty mountaineers. Ho ho ho! Another day of hiking in perfect weather has brought us to our second camp at Casa de Piedra. Today's walk saw only a slight gain in elevation but took us further up the deep and breathtaking Vacas Valley. Huge amounts of relief, enormous floodplains, intense sun, sapphire skies were among the visual treats along the approach. Spirits are high and we look forward to reaching our basecamp at Plaza Argentina tomorrow afternoon! Rock n' Roll, Billy, Walt, Andy, & Dan.
