Escaping Bolivia's Lagunas Route (S3:E60)
Lost in the dark in Eduardo Avaroa National Park. Chad and Rose fight their way across the deep sands of Laguna Colorada to a remote shelter for the night. Undeterred by their injuries, they elect to press on in search of some popular hot springs, where they soon discover they are "second class citizens" among the throngs of organized tours...
Electing to cut their losses, they decide to flee the Lagunas Route, only to discover that the "last chance for gas" is bone dry, due to a local protest blocking the highway.

You recently commented on another ADV rider's experience of being mugged in Belize as it being one of your greatest fears. Mine has always been getting seriously injured far from medical care. Fifty years ago when I first started exploring South America I picked up a half dozen ampules of morphine and a couple syringes from a guy who had been a medic in Vietnam. Different time, different sensibilities of course and I wouldn't risk that today. But I still make a habit of carrying a 3 day supply of (legally prescribed) Oxycontin in my med kit. Never had to use it but it's reassuring to know it's there. Good to know your fall didn't slow you down for long.

Recover swiftly and safe travels to you both.

Glad you are (relatively) alright from the crash. Sucks to be out in the middle of NOWHERE and have an incident like that. Ok - enough of the high desert. Ain't but so much barren and sandy landscape you can see. Find some mountains with trees and grass. Maybe even a little warmer for you to spread out by a nice stream. Being cold all the time sucks about as bad as hiking. Take care and always looking forward to the next installment. Safe travels. 🙏🏻

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets True, half the fun, it’s the other half that keeps humans up at night. Metaphorically to be lost is fun, like the metaphor “lost in love”, though literally the other half gains far greater relevance as obstacles emerge. This poses an interesting dilemma for an adventure traveler. If I go for metaphorical fun I tend to bias behaviours that I know pose significant risk to future fun or the good life.
