Just finished reading Thom Hogan’s blog about his recent photograpy workshop to Patagonia/Chile, “A World Biosphere Preserve gets Closed by Strikers and Tourists held Hostage”
The article prompted me to visit the U.S. Department of States web site and take a look at Travel Advisories. If you are planning to travel abroad take a look at Smart Traveler Enrollment Program and search Google with U.S. Wardens Report and the country that you plan to visit.
