Honduras, the mosquito coast, anyone done it??
Hello. Excuse my spelling, but i came to the internet cafe' unprepared and don´t have my map. I´m in the north coast in Tela and will be exploring for a few days. I see there is an oportunity to enter the mosquito coast and ride to a border crossing into N. Nicaragua. I suspect the roads are tough and access to gas and water scarce. Has anyone done this trip?? I would go alone to reduce the weight (2-up on a loaded '89 GS) and my girl would meet me in Nicaragua. Got a tourance on the back,conti on the front.Do i need knobbies? Bike sucks in the mud, they say it´s the dry season, but we already cancelled Belize due to rain.How about gas and water, i can do 300 miles on a tank. I can pack water and food if i need it. how about the danger factor? My spanish isn´t all that great so i couldn't talk my way out of any situations. How many days would it take from say Trujillo to the Nicaragua border?Any info will be greatly apreciated!

Ron, I´m now in Flores and have plans to check out some of the Mosquito Coast, either Honduras or Nic. The ITM maps I have seem OK, but in no way perfect.
I´m headed towards San Pedro on Lake Atitlan tomorrow for a week´s worth of spanglish. After that, I´m up for most anything. I´m on a DR650.

Slightly ot
Kids, this is slightly off-topic, but may be useful if you can't work out a northern Meskito coast route -
Dirt route from La Ceiba to Teguc - http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...th-coast-12258 I've still not ridden it, so can't add anything. Suerte, Dan Walsh
