The Solitary Basics at Parque Nacional Puyehue

We are sipping a cup of wine-from-a-box at a roofed picnic table in campsite 23 at Camping Chanleufú in Aguas Calientes, Chile. The night is damp and chilly but we have warm clothes. There's a light under the roof, so Michelle is reading her book, and I have the laptop plugged in so I can blog and do a little computer programming. We plan to break out the MSR stove in an hour or so to cook instant risotto.

There's nobody else in the campsite. So far, we haven't even seen a ranger to collect the alleged $20 fee. Maybe has something to do with the car barrier at the entrance, but of course we just walked in from thee bus.

It's kinda bizarre, but we have everything we need. Another day well below our target budget...
