Our winding 16-hour ride along gravel roads north from Usuhaia, Argentina through Tierra del Fuego turned into a 24-hour fiasco as the bus refused to forge ahead in the headwinds.

We ended up pushing it - backwards - downhill to try to jump start the old drying horse after it bled oil like a contested Iraq.
