After passing the Paso de San Francisco: vegetation on Argentine side of the border, with view of the Nevado San Francisco, or Cerro San Francisco, a stratovolcano on the Argentina/Chile border: photo by Eric Depagne, 4 January 2005

It was a tremendous chore having the whole borderline to cover
In dark green paint
By morning, but when the dawn
Brought the usual feeling of not being in this world anymore
Marty Robbins
Would not have put down his guitar
