The Long Lost Land

For ten years now, Bill has been eye-balling a piece of property via Google Earth way out in the mountains outside the city of Coyhaique, the XI regions of Chile....Patagonia. Here it is so beautiful with glaciers, clean potable water from a nearby creek or river and rich with gaucho history.  We finally got the opportunity to seek out the long sought out land....to no avail. We got so close, but yet "no cigar." There is not trail that we know of to the land and the forest is thick with bamboo. We tried for several hours, hacking away with an ax, to make a trail, but it seemed it took 30 minutes to simply move a few feet. Oh well; however, the land that was adjacent to the long lost land provided a "road" (I use the term loosely...no vehicle except a bulldozer of track ho is going on this camino) for us to trek. This land provided enough beautiful views to last me....a river, two lakes, a waterfall, and pasture. And what is nice is this land is for sale also...so we have a lot to pray and think over these next few months. Here are a few pics of our treasure find.
