Luis Miguel writes in Spanish from Caracas:
"I send some photographs of the trip in my CJ-3B from Teques to La Guaira (see a map of Venezuela). We started in Caracas and went to Los Teques by a dirt road. Then we headed up the River Road. At the end of the river it was difficult, and at this point we had to leave 3 of the cars, that couldn't go up (a Jeep Cherokee, Samurai and a Ford Explorer.) We arrived at Colonia Tovar and stayed there for the night. In the morning we travelled to Punto Masa (5 hours on a dirt road) where we had lunch. Then we passed through Punto Cruz, Chichirivichi, Oriaco, and La Guaira on the coast, and finished in Caracas again."

Luis just got his non-digital photos back from processing, and sent along two more pictures: in "La Bajada del Cochino" from Los Teques to La Colonia Tovar, heading down a 60-degree slope (80K JPEG), and going to La Colonia Tovar from Los Teques in the most difficult part of the trip (115K JPEG).
Thanks to Luis for the photos. -- Derek Redmond
