Yesterday was a lazy hang out day. The weather was amazing, for about the 2nd time on this triip. We sat in the sun, Griffen, Felipe, and I went to Cochrane!!! Our first time leaving the park since Felipe and I got here on the 4th or 5th. We bought Sprite, Fanta, potato chips, and cookies and we ate it all before we left. Felipe got chapstick and I got razors because mine broke. A successful adventure. Pretty funny stuff.
Today we´re going hiking to a lake to go swimming. It is going to be absolutely freezing water. But the sun is blazing, maybe I´ll jump in.
That movie, 180 South will come out in March. We watched it in the park that is featured in the movie with Kris Tompkins, who is in the movie. So awesome. The movie is amazing. Back in 1968 Some guys drove in a VW bus from California to Patagonia and climbed mountains, surfed, and did all around awesome stuff. A guy wanted to do the same thing, but took a boat, got lost, all sorts of things, to climb a mountain. Doug Tompkins was in the original group of guys and ended up founding North Face, and now runs Conservacion Patagonica, with his wife, Kris Tompkins. Yesterday we were hanging out, and a guy with a dog walked by. Started talking to Griffen about his dog. He later casually mentions he was the guy who filmed the original footage of the trip in 68. This trip these guys took is legendary among backpackers, climbers, surfers, etc.
When this movie is released everyone has to see it. We wanted to run out and pull out fences!!!
Tomorrow I get to go hiking with Neal, the puma guy. He goes and finds puma kills and takes data on what it was, how old, where, when, and other things. There is a big study going on in UC Davis, and Neal is the guy who collects the data.
I´ll write more after the swimming trip.
