The rains have returned after a rare week of sunny days in this temperate rain forest.  Since it is only a light mist and, occasional sun, I don’t bother putting on my rain gear.  We met three cyclists heading north from Ushuaia, who had also seen Goat (of  Riding the Spine).  Little traffic passed for the hour we talked about the road ahead.  The rain increased and continued through the night as we arrived in this town settled by Germans from Sudetenland (now part of the Czech Republic) in 1935.  We are taking a rest day here to do laundry as the rain continues.
