A Leaky Beginning

Day 237
Remanso to Versalles Canoe Trip Day 4

The canoe was moved to the town's jetty for us early this morning. We paid for it, loaded up all our supplies, and took off. Remanso was a nice town for us to visit. By the time we left, everyone knew… Read More »

Preparing Our Canoe Trip

Day 236
Remanso to Versalles Canoe Trip Day 3

We started putting the word out on the street that we wanted to buy a canoe as soon as we got here, and people started delivering today. We looked at a couple this morning that were nice, but far too small… Read More »

Day 235
Remanso to Versalles Canoe Trip Day 2

A torrential downpour struck Remanso last night. It didn't let up in the day much, either. We had no choice but to put our plans on hold. Supposedly this is the dry season and it's not normal to have any rain… Read More »

Day 234
Remanso to Versalles Canoe Trip Day 1

The road we were on was inaccessible due to rain for nine months out of the year. In fact, when we rode the same bus last week, it was the first time all year the driver was able to complete the… Read More »

Day 233
NKM Adventure Day 10

We had a few options for leaving Florida today. We were going to go with our fanged friend on his motorcycle to the intersection, but Craig, Gabriel, and I all wanted to go, and with a round trip of three hours per person, it… Read More »

Day 232
NKM Adventure Day 9

This was our earliest start yet. With 40 K's to walk back to Florida on already-fatigued legs, we wanted as much time in the cool moonlight as possible, so we started walking at 3:00. When it started to get light three hours later, we… Read More »

A Hot Savanna Walk

Day 231
NKM Adventure Day 8

As usual, we started our day before sunrise and began to walk back to Los Fierros. We would have liked to have started at around 3:00 AM so we could get through the savanna before the extreme heat set in. However, Candido strongly recommended… Read More »

To The Top Of The Jungle

May 16, 2006
Day 230
NKM Adventure Day 7

With yesterday's bicycle debacle, we decided that we would have to revise today's goals. Craig and I decided that we would walk to the bottom of the meseta, set up camp, and attempt to walk to the top and back. There was a campsite… Read More »

The Sight Of The Trip

Day 229
NKM Adventure Day 6

Candido showed up right on time at 6:30 so we could start our trip into the park early. Craig had already cooked lunch that we could eat cold on the way. We took as little as possible to make the bike riding easier: A… Read More »

Bolivian Beurocrats

Day 228
NKM Adventure Day 5

Craig and I got up once again at sunrise to walk the rest of the way to Florida. Fransisco decided to join us and led the way. We thought we still had to walk about two hours, but to our surprise, Florida was less… Read More »
