Torres del Paine: Dale & Team Continue Their Trek in Patagonia
Posted by: Christina Dale
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Torres del Paine
Today was a hot and sunny day, which is not typical here in Patagonia, so we are feeling lucky. We walked on a trail that everyone calls Patagonian Flats because it really means that it goes up and down all day. Today we walked mostly under the cover of a beech tree forest and along raging rivers with the sound of woodpeckers following us through the trees. Arriving at camp hungry and tired, we were met with salami, cheese, and wine. The group is full of laughter and moments of appreciation. It will be an early bedtime for all of us tonight because John Gardner Pass is tomorrow and demands an early start. Keep your fingers crossed for us to continue in good weather as we head over the pass. Everyone's healthy and happy and one of our team even said, "This is the best vacation I've ever been on."

Drink that clear, clean glacial water of the Andean fountain of youth! We are tracking you from southern Florida where it is a balmy and breezy 87 degrees. Explored little islands off west coast in small boat! Off to Selby Gardens for orchids and Andy Warhol today.

Dear Kaki, Deb and Catherine, Thinking of you crossing the Gardner Pass and wishing you clear skies, great views and sure footing. We took ferries from Pune Island to Cabbage Key to North Captiva. My kind of day on the water. Looking forward to your stories. Love Moms

Hi Karen! Sounds like a dream trip. Hard day of hiking followed by cheese, cured meats and wine… to be followed by another hard day of hiking. Reminds me a bit of our hiking in Switzerland. (no death defying parts though please).. :) Sending all our good vibes for good weather, and light backpacks. Miss you so much. Hugs and Kisses from me an the kids. (and a second round from Emerson because…. well… he does that.)
Take 3 deep breathes for me on the most scenic part of your next day. (4 if the sun is on your face).
Love , Love and more Love.
