Soy el camino, soy la carretera
After a certain amount of time on the road, you simply become a yellow dashed line.

At end of this road / Al final de este camino
After more than 1000 km of hiking and hitchhiking I reached the end of Carretera Austral - but not the end of all roads … so I kept going south.
Después de más de 1000 km de caminata y autostop llegué al final de la Carretera Austral - pero no era el fin de todos los caminos … así que seguí viajando hacia el sur.

With company, then without
Somewhere south of Cochrane, a Chilean couple joined me. Together, we walked about four hours on the least transited part of the road while eating a never-ending supply of nalca.
“It’s nice to have company,” I told them. “Usually, I’m out here by myself and sometimes, when I get very, very tired, I start seeing things that aren’t there and hearing voices. Now that you’re here, you can tell me if those things are real or not.”
Not long after, they stopped walking with me. The couple said they wanted to sit and wait for a lift.
Understandable. It was the last time I told anyone about my “walker’s fatigue.”
