Thanks, zingshoen. Here is my traveling setup on the Mavila, a 35 liter Pelican case and a one gallon Rotopax, should give me a 230+ mile range. Going to try and ride south to Nazca this week, heading north to Huaraz next week. I've added some recent photos from the Andes.

oldgringo, I hope to get down that way before I die, preferably by bike, or at least by plane and get a bike. I would definitely need you to show me around!

I'm sorry if this came up before and I missed it, are you a professional photographer?

Weldandgrind, Spud and Doc, thanks.
Spud, the Pelican case is part of a Caribou system, I had all the hardware including the mounting plate, I've used the same Pelican on a KLR and Versys. I'm having second thoughts today, it will be fine for around town but I don't think the rack will last long off road. I'll test it on a short off road ride. culcune, my door is always open, if you ever head down this way I'll show you places where no tourist has ever been. Doc, I'm not a pro but my photos have been published in a few magazines and books. I've got good cameras and a lot of patience, so I get a few good photos.

I also bet you have good people skills. You could not get such wonderful natural expressions from people otherwise.

I rode back up to Huaraz, my novia, Charito took the bus, the Mavila has enough poke it get me up into the Andes but I would be asking for trouble if I tried it two-up. Huaraz is a great town, relatively safe, and very inexpensive, a good hotel room is about eight dollars, I'll be going back up later this month, here are some photos.

OG, once again your photos are quite remarkable. I appreciate your ability to capture real life in such an honest way.
I had to look up a couple of the words. Cuy gave me a good laugh; Mrs. Weldangrind wasn't as amused. ![]()
