Day 140 – Cali, CO to Pasto, CO 01/08/10 Mileage: 248
I was up, packed and on the road at the crack of 10am this morning….not exactly the alpine start I wanted. Either way, I should still make it to Pasto which was my target for today. The road started out flat down the valley in which Cali lies, but soon started climbing back up into the mountains. The views were great and the road was even better. I put more pre-load on the Ricor shock this morning and it was paying dividends, as the KLR felt even better than yesterday.
Today I mounted the bullet camera above my left grip, so you’re seeing what my left hand sees…
Doing the misty mountain hop…
Pulling into Pasto, and out of the rainy mountains….
I pulled into Pasto around 4pm and spent the next hour trying to track down a room. I finally ended up at the Koala Inn, which was decent and only $13 for a room with a private bathroom.
After settling in, I walked around town for a bit and had a lite dinner.
When I returned to the room, I worked on the blog for a bit and the hit the hay. Tomorrow it will be on to Ecuador….country #12!
