''' GPT 13 + 14ish | 2 days | 12/31-1/1 | RR, 13 Variant A, RR, Variant A '''
Someone call animal control! Jokes, but seriously I’ve been battling.
Started from Licura on RR, all good for first 5km until I reached Settlement and was stopped by 4 hounds bolting at me. There wasn’t an option to pass around them, they fully blocked path before I even was close to the house. Just turned around and decided to walk road.
After a few Km someone offered me a ride to Icalma, and being dusted and dried out I accepted.
From Icalma I walked to the border, crossed, ate lunch in the shade, and crossed back. Argentina was beautiful!
Continued on to GPT 14. Made it to bushwhack section, got kinda lost, but then found this beautiful new path and decided to explore it.
For a while it ran parallel to the RR, but such a nice path so I kept on, thinking it would intercept Variant A. After like 6km it took a turn, and started heading back the way I came, but actually intercepted the main road (Variant A). I was behind a gate and barbed wired, and since it was late I opted to sleep somewhere in the woods. I felt bad about being on someone’s property but I didn’t have much of an option. There were cows…pretext.
The night was kinda scary ngl, lots of cow sounds. I awoke before sunrise and got on the move. However, 3km down the Main Road I was stopped clean in my tracks.
I intercepted a mama cow and its baby, on different sides of the road. I stopped with distance and let them join together. However, when I start to try and walk past the mama became aggressive. They were up against some barbed wire. I kept my distance and tried to wait it out. After 15 minutes of angry Mooing and a stare down, I decided to shout, blow my whistle, and wave my polls. It kinda worked.
Mama crossed over to other side and started to ignore me, but the baby didn’t. I waited, but then the baby started to approach me. I yelled a bit, but then the mama started to run towards me.
I jogged away, out of sight, but now Mama was straight charging me. In fact, she took a shortcut through a dirt path and tried to cut me off, fully running. I ran away lol, and was intercepted by another group of cows. Luckily, they moved away and let me pass.
Beaten down, with my new year starting with a cow charge, I headed back to Icalma. I think i’ll go to GPT 16 now hehe.
Maybe I’m not a country boy who doesn’t know cows, but I was scared for real. Little video from before the charge.
