Exit RN-#7
After having traversed the ruta -#89 & #86 at the bottom of
snow-caped mountains curving among the vineyards I arrived at my
friends in Los Arboles on Monday, September 19 around 11:00. I was
accommodated cordially by the hostess who made me visit her
sumptuous house. I spent a pleasant day with a very educated couple.
The evening occurred in travel souvenirs around the world as well as
readings from work on the civilizational problems. I left them on
Tuesday morning around 10:00 with an invitation for my return from
Ushuaia. I stopped in Mendoza on the way to Cordoba in order to make
supply at Carrefour and the full with diesel fuel at YPF. I found a
quiet bivouac at the exit of the RN-#7.

Villa de la Quebrada
On Wednesday, September 21th was a long driving morning with little
interest to bivouac away from the ruta-#146 in Villa de la Quebrada
at the bottom of the Sierra de San Luis. I remained two nights,
because the WiFi connectionat the Plaza Central was good.

Mina Clavero
As the two days before the road was very tedious and landscape
without interest. After various police checks on the road without
request for documents only by curiosity. I arrived at Mina Clavero,
summer station at the bottom of the Sierra de Pocho, at the
beginning of afternoon. I found, by chance, a bivouac at the edge of
a river close to the calle Costanera.

Cordoba
On Saturday, September 24th I started from early morning to Villa
Carlos Paz which according to Lonely-Planet is “like
a mix between Vegas and Disneyland”. Perhaps but I did
not see anything of similar. I went my way to go to Cordoba by the
autopista where I arrived around 12:30 at Plaza San Martin. I drove
twice around of the plaza and I got information near the
police for a carpark. But nothing which is appropriate worthy of my
truck. Consequently I went to Avenida Yrigoyen to visit the three
museums of Milla Cultura, Caraffa, Ferreyra and Dionisi by the name
of the old hotels which house them. I found a parking along Avenida
Concepción Arenal where I intended to bivouac, to follow.

Jesus Maria
On Sunday, September 25th I went to Jesus Maria at approximately 56
km north of Cordoba to visit the Museo Jesuitico Nacional. Of course
no indication in the village to go to the site, some streets were
closed due to a race. Fortunately at all the crossroads of charming
young ladies of the Gendarmerie have me several times shown the
route to follow. The building dates from the 17th century with
extensions the following centuries. About twenty rooms exhibit
furniture of time as well as liturgical objects coming from various
areas of South America. A room is dedicated to the Amerindians,
artefacts of the daily life and spiritual. Alas No Photo, I was
obliged to put my camera at the nail in a wall cupboard. I
bivouacked not far from the entry of the museum.
