safe return from the edge of nowhere

i just wrote a long post on this topic and then went to copy it so that in the event it was deleted as i posted, i would still have it, but the act of copying it deleted it. so now there are others waiting for the free internet and i will have to give a condensed version. last 4 days good. jeeping 8h per day. average 4.5km altitude. average 5degC. volcanic region at junction of bolivia, argentina, and chile. snow capped peaks (pic 1). coloured lakes (red, white, green (pic 2)). wildlife

(llamas, vicunas, donkeys, flamingos, chinchilla things). geysers (face full of H2S and mud splashed on camera (no safety considerations here)). lava flows. last day was largest salt flat in the world.

partially flooded so mirror surface made look like in the clouds. rode on top of jeep for 1.5h and got tad sunburnt (pic 3 is from top of my jeep towards other 2 jeeps). spent 13h last night beginning at midnight travelling to la paz where we are currently. just big city. eager to get back to small locales. lake titicaca and peru are next. write more tomorrow night when done more and pc is again free. hasta luego amigos.
