Bariloche to San Martin de los Andes April 7, 1980 Ernie Schrieber arrived in Bariloche last night and today we set out with our guide and driver Jorge Berghman for our fishing base in San Martin. Most of the route followed open plains and foothills reminiscent of central Utah. The local express trees look like Utah juniper. Saw several flocks of geese (Chloephaga pictocephala) in pastures along the road, and where the highway skirts one of the lakes we were looking down on a handsome pair of black-necked swans (Cygnus melancoryphus). A few dead jackrabbits on the road but saw no other wild mammals. In San Martin we have settled in a charming little Swiss inn "La Paulette" run by a handsome woman Sra. Bracht and her son and daughter-in-law Sylvie. Another party of fishermen is here guided by Bill McAlfee who took Woody as the form Sharp Zole two years ago. The fishing group is Don Shoulberg and his wife Kazia, from NY; Jim Slater from Los Altos, CA., and Bob Kahn from Philadelphia. After staying one year we went for an evening fishing to his Chimelun half hour from here. It was a cold dark threatening evening and we caught no fish. Ernie didn't come with us but slept instead -- he has been on a jet a good part of the last two days. Along the road we saw a small armadillo and ran it down for photographs, Woody holding while I manned a camera. A lot of geese grazing in the pastures -- called "cauquen" males mostly white -- females rich brown
