Brazil -- July 2009 -- Sunday Trip to Pico da Bandeira

Early Start.....perhaps too early???

Waiting for the truck to take us into the park

First load!!

Waiting for truck to come back for loads #2 and #3

Load #2 gets to go!

First two loads begin hike

And finally , Load #3 arrives --
their truck broke down coming up the steep road and
they had to walk the rest of the way....
