We just lefthe desert with a lot of stormy winds, dust and bad tracks. We reached the tarmac road towards esquel when I missed a thick nail, which was then catapulted into the rear tire. Before the tire had lost all air I was warned by a passing car. The side wind was so rough that I hadn’t even noticed the change in driving behavior.
A police patrol promised to send a tire repair service, sergio rushed to help and we loaded the defective wheel onto his pickup truck. A truck tire repair shop in esquel, 15 kilometers away, patched the defective tire and after three hours we were back on the road…
… and a few days later, again after a bad runway, the end of the tire’s life had come.
