Blasting south through Chile.

January 16, 2014 Antofagasta to beach camping just outside of Chanaral, Chile.  400km.

We stayed up late last night and hit the road around 2:00pm!  Honey jacks may have played a roll in the late start.

We passed the famous hand in the desert. There wasn't much else to see today.  Tons of uninhabitated desert.   
Halfway through the day we filled up at the only gas station we saw in 200km. Fast going but extremely boring riding.

We had a supper of mashed potatoes and leftover bbq meat.  MMM.  The days are getting longer and we had sometime to relax before it got dark.
January 18, 2014  Chanaral to a Beach outside of La Serana, Chile 600km ish,

We continued blasting south on the Panamerica Highway.

Around lunch we stopped in the beautiful town of La Serena.  We grabbed some groceries at Walmart and picked up two front tires.  Kyle's front tire has the two large holes and Trevor's (replaced in Nicaragua) is wearing unevenly. 

Later that evening we changed them while cooking supper on the beach.

January 19, 2014 La Serena to Valparaiso, Chile.

A motorcross race just outside of Valparaiso
All of the Dakar vehicles packed up and ready to ship.

Pulled out of town and started picking random roads that felt like they were heading north east.
Found a nice spot to camp away from a construction road and had good fire! (doesnt happen very often)

The next morning we checked the valves on the bikes and headed towards the border for Argentina!
