A friend who many years ago was into creative writing and literature wrote an interesting narrative describing a trip we took on the meter gauge "northern transandino" between Argentina and Chile back in 1972. I combined his writing with a few of my pictures into the following blog:

Journey to the End of the Earth

It was quite an adventure and thought some folks here might enjoy the story.
