Orange County Raquetball

Arabopó 1987 2001

Starting the trip from Ciudad Bolivar.
honestly do not know if the truck matches the casas o las casas con la camioneta.


Tras nuestro viaje de 1.999, regresamos a Arabopó y el Salto K en 2001, acompañados esta vez de un grupo más numeroso.



El majestuoso Orinoco a la altura de Ciudad Bolívar.




Nuestro campamento improvisado en el jardín de un amigo, sirvió de punto de reunión para dar inicio a este paseo.




Rolling south, and in the Gran Sabana.




Our point of meeting in Santa Elena.


Anytime is good to play a little while.


In seitan.














studying the situation What is the quickest way to overcome this obstacle?


The solution: A human winch!







really this journey is always fun.





At times, the caravan stretches for miles.









With a "leg" in Venezuela and one in Brazil. Literally.















An incident that thankfully did not crash.

Toyota not only traveling in Venezuela.



















K Since the jump is no shortage of get-togethers and feasts usual.











family breakfast.



The helicopter would lead to some members of our group on a tour that would include a visit to Roraima, crashed coming to our camp, leaving inoperable. Thus, our group was increased by adding one additional member.






For children, there's nothing like a tasty bathroom.



rescue helicopter arrives, looking for injured teammate.







K from above.




On this occasion we were not the only camping here. Two other groups from around the country arrived shortly after us. The photo shows a meeting in which instructions were given on the need and the importance of keeping the area clean, especially when going to the "bathroom"





The Arabopó river in its flow to the Salto K.

A camp rather tasty.

Finding an attractive well in the vicinity of the camp.



On the way to the new well.







Bonfire and dinner with hot dogs and marshmallows for more buddy.

Meanwhile, larger grille with a rich dinner.



Group photo with the injured.

Starting back.



Despite an occasional tight as that seen in this photo, the trail had not yet become what it is today, as a result of indiscriminate use of rubber too large, blocking and little sense that prevails today in applying the throttle.



















In Venezuela, where it was never marketed, not every day you can count on the participation of a 100 series in a walk.





The 100 impressed along the way by the effectiveness of its active traction control (A-TRC)



An interesting use of a winch, using the pulley to redirect pulled.




So we end this brief account of our trip to Arabopó in 2,001. It really is a shame that the irrational use of 4x4 and above all, lack of ability to lead by their owners has made these wonderful places in a very difficult thing to achieve.
