What a difference a day (and a bit of rain) makes! The scene of one of many falls on a slippery Ruta 40. On wet clay, the bike is like an elephant on ice skates.

On May 23, 2005, I left Santa Rosa, California on my 2005 BMW R1200GS. During the next eleven months, and 46,000 miles, I traveled to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, east to the Canadian Maritimes, then south to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Above, one of the more memorable moments, atop Peru's 15,600-foot "Portachuelo de Llanganuco".

Good god. I sure hope it's dry for me as I head down south. That looks awful. Don't think I would kept going. You're the man Tim!
Hey, Worldrider!
You have the right idea to stay put for a day or two if it rains along Ruta 40. It seems to dry out quickly.
(It's practically desert, so rain should not be a common phenomena.)
On the other hand, I experienced none of the famous winds out there.
