picada clearing Explanation: It refers to a space in a forest that has been cleared, or is naturally clear, of vegetation. If not natural (eg, caused by adverse soil quality), those clearings may have been created for various purposes, eg previous seismic surveys or firebreaks - aka "leñeras" (or "fajas") in Chile, because the felled trees provided firewood for the local residents. |

Reference: Refs. Reference information: http://confluence.org/confluence.php?visitid=14234 Cuando encontramos la traza de los gasoductos Neuba y Mega nos dirigimos hacia el meridiano 67, mirando hacia el norte alguna posibilidad de acceso vehicular. Una **picada sísmica*** muy vieja que nos arrimaba a unos 2 km no nos entusiasmó mucho debido a que estábamos con un vehículo solo. Cerca del meridiano apareció un alambrado que no nos permitía entrar pero que internamente tenía la **picada** que buscábamos. Estábamos separados 3.5 km de la confluencia y nos pesaba el cansancio de caminar otros 7 km, por lo que volvimos sobre nuestros pasos para tratar de ingresar al campo, que según los mapas se llamaba “La Rosita” y que tenía un puesto más o menos cercano. La tranquera con el candado abierto fue un buen indicio y fácilmente encontramos el casco de la estancia, donde encontramos a uno de los dueños. When we found the big pipelines Neuba and Mega, we went to meridian 67, to the north looking for some possible vehicular approaching. A very old **seismic path** didn’t convince us to enter because we had only one car for thr bad conditions and according to our maps it approached us up to 1.2 mi. Near the meridian appeared a fence that prevented our progress but the field had a **firebreak** that we wanted. We were at 2.2 mi of the confluence i.e. at least 4.4 mi of walking. We were very tired to hike again. http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/picada 4.
