I Was Driving…

Volcán Villarrica

We continued our road trip down to just north of Lago Villarrica to a gorgeous little house with a stunning view of the volcano and lake from our front porch.
Stratovolcano.
Oakley and I climbed Volcán Villarrica (Rukapillán to the Mapuches)
in 2001. We summited (guided), peered into the caldera and then slid on our butts down the mountain on the snow
Here are some pics from back then. And these will have to do, because climbing to the top is not something that geezers do.
One of the great things about surviving to geezerhood is recalling the wild things we did when we were “bulletproof”.
Villarrica blew one night in 2015.
It’s an exciting volcano!

I was made for this.
