I'm in the middle of a desert on a dirt road. The road stretches horizon to horizon in each direction and it is very flat. In the very distance I can see mountains in every direction. Big, dry, brown mountains. There are power lines on poles along the road and these are the only signs of civilization. There are no phone, data or cable wires on the poles; just power lines. The poles look a little different than in the US. I'm thinking maybe the Peruvian high desert? Right or left are the only choices and they look identical. I pick right.
I walk forever and nothing changes. The mountains never get closer. After many many miles there is another power line joining the one by the road. These lines stretch out into the desert to the right and disappears over the horizon. I keep following the road.
I walk for many more miles. Twice I pass small shack size masonry structures with dirt floors made from local rocks. I keep following the road
Eventually I come to some signs of civilization. 5 Small buildings and a soccer field smoothed out of the desert. Definitely not the US. There is a T intersection in the road with another road comming in from the left... and a sign.
To the left : Quera 6
Strait: Abra Latte 7
Strait: Agua de Castilla 14
Spanish. Definitly south America I stay strait. Agua, Water means more civilization
