I love these posts. I'm sorry about the muddy situation, though. Not fun.

Ok. Is this water crossing after the mud the one you were trying to decide about before ? I am guessing possibly not as there was some paved surfaces be for the mud wrestling?

I'm a bit confused about what you mean here. This post is worded a bit differently because it's for a community that doesn't necessarily follow my LJ, so it doesn't reference my pondering in Puerto Berrío around whether or not to take the gravel road south. In the end i did take the gravel road south, and this was the result. There was a bit of paved road on both ends (heading east from Puerto Berrío to Medellín and heading south/west from Puerto Nare to La Sierra), but about 45km of the ~55km journey was gravel. When i looked up the road on Google Street View it just looked like a "normal" gravel road, but it failed to show all the massive puddles and bogs that i encountered along the way... I have no idea how the Google Street View car made it through!

I did not pick up on the different way you titled this entry until now. My apologies.

No problem at all, no need to apologize.

Oy!

That mud mosh pit was epic.

You are much better at this than I would be.

...And I'm so glad.

Great travel documentation.

Take care of yourself and your hands.
