The mountains do not care that you have a schedule. Charles Johnson Post crosses the Andes the hard way and writes it up with a reporter's eye for the mule, the muleteer, the freezing pass and the thin air that makes strong men stupid. A journey over the spine of a continent, told by a man far more interested in what it actually cost than in how grand it looked.
