Argentinian Patagonia

In the Argentinan side of Patagonia, the drier vegetation (because of the rain shadow effect) is evident.

We drove along a lot of gravel roads (really rather remote and seemingly untraveled) in this part of our trip.  There wasn't cell service (even if we'd had "smart" phones along). And our other wireless devices...

But the landscape was amazing, expansive, and incredible.
