I spent the morning repairing the storage rack on the back of the Tiger. The deck of the rack is plywood and over the past month it has deteriorated. I did not replace the wood simply placed a new piece over the old and painted both pieces black. That should last a few months.


After lunch we went for a drive to another of the local ski hills, Cerro Catedral. This was much more like what we would expect from a ski resort, big parking lot, lots of shops and a number of lifts. The place was pretty quiet, few shops open and none of the lifts running. This was a surprise, we expected the place to be active with mountain bikers - that's what happens in Whistler during summer.

Back at camp Sam and Bernie had arrived so we chatted and drank some beer.

The issue at home has been resolved so tomorrow we will start traveling south with a bit more earnestness.

There are some very elaborate houses/buildings in Bariloche.
