Volcanoe eruption...road closed...a night in a small town...

S 44.02972
W 070.35544
Elevation: 2371 Feet

These are our current coordinates here in Argentina...we are stranded on the bus and will be here for the night...
The police have stopped the few scattered motorists on this Route 40 because a volcanoe has erupted in nearby Chile and has caused severe ash to fall and block visibility in this mountainous region.
At this precise moment we have stopped in a miniature town that has a restaurant, hope there's a hotel!
Apparently the next mayor town we were going to pass into, Esquel, had over 3 cm of ash on the floor so the safe thing to do was stop here for the night....not a bad idea especially since at night you can't see a thing!

Will update you guys in the AM...
Check google to see if something comes up on a volcanoe erupting in Chile near the town of Esquel, Argentina. If anybody finds good information send us a message!
C4 and SL300...the mission has been aborted, are there any escape routes??!!! ;-))
