Hi Elsp
It looks like the lock on the new one had been forced open, not that we were complaining. The old refugio was pretty dirty but would have worked in an emergency. The toilet in the new refugio wasn't operational but the old pit toilet near tge old refugio was good enough.
When we stayed there this new Refugio was locked. We gazed longingly through the window but had to sleep in the old container one next door. Still grateful for it however.

Know what you mean about getting back into the wilds. Envious you are still in Patagonia. I can feel a third trip coming on haha!
Hog nosed skunk. Really neat, though overly aromatic critters.
