Friday Field Foto #113: Roadside attraction in the Andean fold-thrust belt
June 11, 2010
This week’s Friday Field Foto is from the Andes Mountains in central Argentina, not very far from Cerro Aconcagua. I went to Mendoza for a conference in 2005 on the tectonics of western North and South America (called the “Backbone of the Americas”) and there was a day field trip up into the mountains. We stopped along the way at a place called Puente del Inca where people had set up these small huts to sell tourists (or geologists) various Andean goodies.

Finally, to John Morris who asks about Bob Finnegans rating system, it was a simple four tier system of Exception, Above Average, Average and Below Average (the names are from memory since I would have to dig out his newsletter to be surebut I do not recall that he ever used the 100-point system, even at the end of his publishing careerand certainly not uin the 1970s when he started publishing).
