Yetti’s Pacific North West Exploration & Expeditions Picture heavy

Those birds, were not only large, but they gave no ********** about tearing stuff up- they kept fighting on top of cars, hoods and roofs. We could hear their talons tear into the paint and them selves. We kept making jokes that they would fly off with the moto's.

The glacier was beautiful, and indescribable. So incredible to see, and hear-feeling it move. Being in Tandem kayaks 100 yards away from the calving face- the 40 degree water, ice floating by so clear you could see through it. I managed to snag a piece and ate chunks off of it for the next few hours on the water and trail. I would recommend the kayaking trips, not cheap- but these guys are legit. And you are completely geared up, from fleece onsies, to the dry suits, skirts, vests, and booties. Its easily over 2k a person just in equipment, and at the end they just handed us a flash drive with the pictures on it.

An incredibly beautiful day, we were afraid to think maybe out weather was turning around. Would our " ****^&*ng Motorcycles" and " embrace the suck" Patagonia Rides leave us in piece to experience her beauty unmolested?

We camped that night, With Puerto Natalia the next destination. We found a nice beautiful place to camp, and some trees to hang up in. Twas a bit of a cow swamp, but being ranch kids- did not bother us a bit. I*n fact we probably slept better that night, with the familiar fragrance in your minds.

The Craperia tagged at the beginning of this post is Aces. Worth a stop.

Its hard to see, but in one of those pictures the large white bird, has the baby's on her back.

A friendly skunk, at the border crossing. This one took a long time, as we were stuck behind quite a few others and a tour bus. The moto's drawing lots of attention, and questions form other travelers on the tour buses.

I liked Puerto Natalia as well,
Just down from the great coffee shop, was an AMAZING little museum- I think a must see, good price, I think 400/pesos a person. And Bi Lingual signs, we were here for close to three hours.

We stayed at Wild Hostal, good. With a killer breakfast, and on site bar. The Best breakfast from all the Hostels we stayed at.

https://www.wildhostel.com/

We met with some friends who we had got to know quite well weeks ago in Pucon, At a Brewery Owned by a guy from Oregon. It was awesome to See Ronny and Sean again. It was not a super late night as we had ground to cover the next day, and planes waiting.
I will post the link,

We also tried to Visit the Southern Most Distillery in the world, but sadly it was closed after a brisk and chilly walkabout to its location.

I had finally decided to listen to music inside my helmet with the Bluetooth, BEST DECISION EVER!!! Seriously though, changed the entire ride in surprising ways. And WE HAD BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!!!! By this i of course still mean, lots of wind at about 50kmh. And our final destination of the trip...at least for me Punta Arenas, a town i was excited to see.

Break, haha Thank you Kp for this picture of me

This place was good, we were under dressed, and stuck out. But loved the atmosphere, and good cocktails. Prices as you would expect. My brother later became a regular in the weeks after i I left.

We had to find a place to stay, book some penguin tours, and meet up with Friends from Thanksgiving, the Couple that rented Runningfrommondays truck and camper.

For those who dont know many an Arctic Expedition left from here. Still being the only " free trade zone" in Chile and South America. And actively still the jumping off point to Antarctica. I have been working on getting some Contracts at McMurdo Station, so this place was special to me.

https://www.google.com/search?q=pun...69i60j69i59.2983j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

And it was nice, the town square had wifi, people were great. We explored the town, and worked on logistics trying to get the bikes sold, and showed.


Wandering past the massive ship yards, as we turned toward town whilst riding in, the bone chilling ice wind from the Arctic hitting us, smelling the salt water and ice. We knew we were close, I knew my journey was about to end.

We had arranged with the Hostal, and the Tour Company that we would just follow them to the boats, however when we woke up us and the bikes were locked inside the hostal, and had to scale the security fence. My tiny brother had no issue, my larger and still with a badly sprained ankle managed to make it with only one hole in my pants.

Today is my last full day prior to returning stateside. The last few days we have had beautiful weather. This morning, the Patagonia we now know well returned, the skies darkening, clouds covering. Our old friend rain joining us. Almost as if to mimic our moods. We did, however get to see some penguins!! They are adorably curious little critters, not afraid to get close to us for an inspection. We had a 40 minute buss ride, and 45mins of boat to get to the island. Some of us took this time to increase our limited siesta time.

Finial leg! I have had my helmet next to me everyday and night of the last month, it was going to feel a little weird with out it keeping me company. I was unable to pack as well this time, so it has been my carry on.

This Osprey pack made it all the way through Patagonia strapped to the back of a moto, but was lost in an airport. That being said they had it couriered to me in under 36 hours.


Also, followed up with my PC- turns out i also tore the ligaments in that ankle, im still wearing a brace part time.

I hope my writing and pictures, although not doing it justice helped to inspire you to get out and explore.

Another two miles today: checked out the beginning of the Lewis and Clarke equine trail. Never know what you'll find out in the desert. Yesterday, worked a habitat for Humanity build for Team Rubicon, hung sheetrock on feelings all day.
