When a lovely ride on a montain road turns into a muddy landslide! The road was full of lovely tunnels and cool views, it was an eays ride! Until it turned into a mudslide and eventually a landsldie forced us to turn around.

Had the landslide dirt been hard packed it would have been crossabel, but ti was so soft and fresh it would have been lioe getting stuck in a sand dune of muddy red dirt. No thanks!

The road continued down ruta 7, otherwise known as caretera austral.

Northern Chile is amazing! It can be hard to find the nice secluded spots because petrol stations usually are only along Ruta 5 (major highway) or in the cities along the coast, and jerry cans aren't commonly sold in "motorcycle size"... but we managed to get off the beaten track at least a little!

Went for a test ride with my new Giantloop round the world panniers. I thought I could get away with just buying the bags and not the rack mount, and it works...but it is really hard to get the bags on and off. Anyone out there have any experience using these bags without the rack mount?
