Steam Tractor Hunting by Diana Rona
Buenos Aires,Argentina,South America.
On a cold and foggy winter morning Bob (Roberto Dario Frassinetti) pushed us to an amazing adventure.
Nevertheless we had time for a short breakfast in our cottage in the woods,in Valeria del Mar. Then we took the road to Madariga, a small town close to the chick beach resort of Pinamar (on the South Atlantic Ocean).
Madariaga is an old little village inhabited by rich and not so rich farmers.
On the way we decided to start hunting for those steam engine tractors we were so interested in looking for. We heard that by a salted water lake called Laguna Salada Chica we could see some… And when we got down, out of our muddy car to see the first and only one of them :a once beautiful iron-beast,now fantastically un-kept.No name on it,no history,just a chunk of wrotten iron,once a steam engine,today........junk. In our second stand we returned to the small and interesting village (Madariaga) and while asking several pedestrians we got to a John Deere dealer and to our amasment he was repaing one of those old tractors, a John Deere.... but no steam tractors… The hunting finally took us to our hunger,so back we went on our tracks and Bob prepared a late lunch in our cottage: a delicious barbecue, an asado as we call it here. Quite a good prize for our search!But maybe not the one we wher looking for.
