Mexico Buddies
Hi Robb,

I am about to enter Mexico through the Nogales border, will be doing this on Thursday, then riding south all the way to Panama. Hopefully the plan will be Hermasillo, Creel (Copper Canyon), the through some small mountain roads to another place, then another, haha... I've got a route sorted, and want to take in as much as i can, but at the same time, don't have all the time in the world. I'm planning on riding through to SA.

Where are you now? Hit the road yet?
Maybe we can catch up at some point.

Neil

Hi,

I'm looking at heading down from the states through Central America. Haven't got a bike yet, but could possibly be leaving within the next two weeks if everything works out. Would love to try and catch you guys, I'm travelling solo too. Keep me in mind anyway.

Neil, are you the same Neil I met in zacatecas and went hunting for birria with? I'm pretty sure you are haha.

Zacatecas was fantastic, I spent 9 days there and nearly was convinced to rent an apartment for a month or two with some friends I made but the trip must go on.

I'm am currently in querétaro headed for Bernal and Teotihuacan. Where is everybody?

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the info about the ferry, always good to have an idea even if I'm sure they wouldn't try to rip you off on a thing like that.
I'm in Loreto atm. Loving the town and the campsite so far.
Nice to have some wifi and fresh water after roughing it on the beach for the past week, and at 60 pesos it feels like a steal. (Riveria del mar, RV camp.) Close to beach and town center if anyone's passing through.

Will probably head inland after Mazatlan as well, did you stop at the Sierra de Organos national park on the way to Zacatecas?

Nah I didn't stop there, just straight from Durango to Zacatecas.

Now I'm in Oaxaca city, I went from querétaro->bernal->puebla and from there I decided to take the road less traveled. I took the 182 across the mountains to Tuxtepec and then the 175 down to Oaxaca. Was quite the adventure. I would recommend it, the scenery on the 182 was incred. I spent 10 hours at a roadblock though by protesting teachers. All in all it was a good experience, met and befriended a lot of the protestors, I shared what food I had and they fed me dinner. I was planning to sleep in the street there with them when a deal was finally reached and the roadblock broke at around 8PM so I road a few km up the street to a hotel.

The 175 was good as well but thick fog and rain made it a really slow pass with no cool views.
