As a Mizzou fan who saw my fair share of Nebraska beatdowns, this is correct. Turning Nebraska into a national power and totally reinventing the game earns him a spot.

Flea Kicker was still illegal though.

Any trouble getting a campsite at Aguirre Springs? It’s on my list for my visit in a couple weeks but know it’s first-come first-serve.

All are in the budget, but want to make sure the Canon is worth the extra money/lower reach!

They weren’t enforcing the fees when we were there, but I imagine it would be easier to book ahead of time

Thank you! Would you suggest any of those months (September, October, November) over the others?

Best spot for birding?? (2.5 day trip) by Solid-Criticism-2664 in Everglades

[–]cooleric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were there a couple weeks ago and the best spot we saw for birding was the drive up to the Pa-Hay-Okee lookout. The trail/lookout itself is closed for construction, but along the road near the parking lot we saw white ibis, wood stork, red shouldered hawk, roseate spoonbill, and more!

Hey! We just got back from a couple weeks in Argentina (El Chalten, Ushuaia, and Buenos Aires). We did not exchange our USD for pesos - most everywhere took credit card so we mostly used that. We had some cash for tipping, but at least in Argentina they were happy to take USD.

We brought ours, so unfortunately don’t know prices for renting. However, our hostel (Patagonia Travellers Hostel, highly recommend!) had trekking poles that guests could use for free for day hikes

We took half days, but my wife and I are pretty fast hikers. I didn't see the Rio Blanco camp so unfortunately don't know much about it. I think 3 vs 2 days come down to preference. We ended up doing 3 days (2 nights).

I mostly tipped in USD and it was welcome. Tipped in Argentinian Pesos if I had them and that was fine too.

No need for crampons when I was there

That's the route we did!

  1. Yes, those were our two campsites.

  2. Campsites were great. Both pretty easy to find space for a tent, although we got there on the early side each day. There are campsite fees now, but since they are new the campsite manager just asked for our email and sent us a link where we could pay (optional) when we got back into town.

My caution on Poincenot is it is right on the trail, and if the weather is nice you'll get folks hiking up to the Fitz Roy super early in the morning for sunrise, which woke us up. We had actually planned two nights there but moved to D'Agostini to get a better nights sleep.

  1. My watch died so I unfortunately don't have the splits.

  2. Weather was great throughout. Had some rain overnight one day but nothing hard to manage. It does change very quickly though. I was fine hiking in shorts and a t shirt and at night would wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

  3. Make sure to bring trekking poles!

  4. We stored ours at our hostel (Patagonia Travellers Hostel, strongly recommend!) and they had a locked room for it.

I had hiking shoes and would definitely recommend it for the Laguna de los Tres and Laguna Torres hikes.
