Day 81 - Chris

Miles 608

After a late start tinkering with Frank, then a leisurely breakfast, we finally hit the road at 10am, the first 100 miles together with Jim, then he headed north in the direction of Buenos Aires and I headed south to complete the trip in Ushuaia... MainlyDueSouth is now a one man band.
