Following the Ruta Y-85, with mainly long straight line on gravel roads. All in the pampa, can be boring sometimes, with plenty of headwind. Fortunately the guanacos are here to keep me company. One stop possible to eat and sleep in Russfin (see paragraph below), and resupply is only possible in Cameron, take advantages of it.

More informations (bus, accomodations, minimarket) below.
