The canyon of the Rio Miranda.

We met Swiss cyclist Michi Adams heading north, one month from Ushuaia.  We expect to get there in three months.  He’d just cycled 220 km the day before we met.  He was also fighting headwinds heading through central Argentina.  After checking online weather forecasts he altered his course west to Ruta 40 to catch the south winds that have been plaguing us.  He suggested that we also alter our course to the east where he was, but we will soon be going west into Chile.
