My Caribbean guests opted out of their rental, due to road conditions. Should open today tho
As hard as it is for some, at times like these, it is best to obey the authorities. There is enough trouble out there without provoking more, by not evacuating an avalanche zone.
“Emergencia en Baños Morales: Rescate desafiante tras incidente de personas escondidas durante evacuación por avalancha.
Hace unos días se informó sobre la evacuación total de Baños Morales por el peligro inminente de avalancha. Recientemente, recibimos la noticia de que aproximadamente 9 personas se escondieron durante la evacuación inicial y también durante la segunda evacuación, que fue con la Armada. Ahora dieron señales y se supo de ellos y que necesitan ayuda para ser evacuados. Este es un momento difícil, ya que los rescates y las órdenes de evacuación no se emiten sin razón. Este incidente cambia completamente la dinámica para todos los involucrados, pues la amenaza de una avalancha es inminente y es crucial actuar (Avalancha si no se genera de forma natural es necesaria activarla para controlar el peligro). Ahora se está evaluando cómo evacuar a estas personas sin poner en peligro más vidas humanas. Es por esto que se insta a seguir las indicaciones. Esperemos que todo salga bien y que situaciones como esta no se repitan. Estaremos informando.”

Oops, a bit too far north
Can any one of you retired dentists send me to Las Leñas for a week or two in August or September? I'll pimp your brand from the depths (and heights) of those world-famous lines.
Damn, Casey. Looking hawt. Thanks for all the constant updates.

Just realized that monte Tarn is so named for when Darwin and Beagle’s surgen Dr Tarn hiked it a century and a half ago.
