Leaving Colca Canyon this morning for Lake Titicaca (Copacabana). If you'd like to convoy across the Uyuni Salar, meet around the Lake. Or anywhere further south next week.
Black KLR 650, Silver helmet. Checking in at "Kilometer Zero" entry to Copacabana late today or tomorrow.
See you.

I am leaving this morning from Copacabana to La Paz.
I am NOT looking forward to traversing a big, chaotic city... I am thinking of trying to bomb straight through and head south to Oruro, setting up the next day south to, or through Challapata. What do you think, is La Paz "worth" the hassles?
Water MAY be an issue: I'd like to find out if the rains have covered much of this (or other) tracks across the Salar....
Maybe find out in Uyuni.... However, getting to Uyuni sounds like a problem>>>
I'd like to avoid the construction recently posted by Sudstrom on ADVrider: Challapata to Uyuni. Does another route option exist?
How about skipping Uyuni entirely? (Until now, I see no other way from La Paz to Uyuni than going via Challapata)
For example>>>
Head SW from Challapata, skirt the Western edge of the Salar- and eventually reach Ollaque? Or stay on the Bolivian side down to San Pedro de Atacama?
Another option to avoid Challapata to Uyuni construction?
Thanks for any tips, suggestions. As good or better, anyone want to ride along?
