Pre trip
Today I went with Blake to buy my tickets to Serria de la Ventana. The girls made other plans so I thought it was just going to be him and I. Lucky for us Kelly came though like a champ and decided to go. So we are a group of three. I'm so glad Kelly decided to join us i really hope she enjoys the whole trip b/c she is really making a leap of faith.
The rough plan is to leave from B.A. at 11.20PM and arrive in two at around 7 A.m. It would be perfect if we could spend our first night on top of one of the tres picas. I got some info from the nice gentleman at the camping store. He said that it is cheap to camp and gave me a website to look up. I would love to wake up on top of a plateau and watch the sun rise! I can not wait. In total we are going to spend 3 days and 2 nights away for the city.
I had no idea that Jessie is the present of the UGA trekking club. I feel really good knowing that he has experience. For Kelly and I it will be out first time out on our own. I have been going over all the critical items. I think I have everything down. I gave Kelly my daypack to use for the trip. I put a few items in there so she could get the feel of some of the things she was going to bring. I really hope she can fit her camera in my bag. I just know if the takes pictures they will turn out great. I'm almost as excited for her to take pictures as I am to camp.
I hope everything goes well and wish me a safe trip. I will try and upload a map and more info about the trip so everyone can follow along. I doubt I will have internet so look for updates when I return. If you hear the Yetti call coming from the direction of South America then you know it is me at the top of the pampas.
