We just returned from a short ride to the Nuevo Leon Mountains, to visit again the area around Rayones (very close to Galeana). from my tent door I could see this view and we missed this from a local Quad event......:ddog http://400cc.com.mx/nortenazo/g0667.html
We left Reynosa around 3pm and expecting to get with daylight to the camping spot we already knew, The sun is seting down and we just got to Rayones, still some 15 miles of dirt part to get there, so it would be hard to make it before dark. And on top of that the gas station just did closed so we needed to return next day to fill the mules. here getting to Rayones And so it was like 2 years ago the last time we went there, was kinda hard to find the place in the total darkness.. despite the directions provided by the locals, we did wrong turns about three times, but at last we found it and started placing the tents. We were starving and wanted to start our Classic Grilling Time!!! myself making sure this guys armed the tents in the correct way..!!!
Huicho did bring some nice Elotes for snack, and in the meantime we started seasing the steaks.... salt that's all! mmm.. can't wait any more for these.. Corn is ready!! is the steak ready yet??
Excelente Arte! I really like this area; stunningly beautiful and interesting. I'm on my way to Sierra Huichol in two days.
the next morning, in the mean time we enjoyed the view and streched out our body and mind, we got set for a country breakfast, a real one, no bs... ok, ok, enough.... lets go for a real country breakfast tortillas de comal...... a real stove, where food taste it like.... food!!! 8:00 am and a bunch of hungry adv riders anxious to start tasting the nice scranble eggs just picked from the outside of the shack... coffee made on clay jar... you name it... aahh!! thank you!!! I'm plenty..!
gopro pics (Efrain) then after opur delicious breakfast, we starting climbing to reach the spot were the Ancon waterfall borns, la ventana mountain (the window) this time, the water was low, the rainy season was very poor last year, but still running enough to keep all green and supplying the village I had to lift this masive log in order allow a pass to my fellow riders.... Efrain emerging from the underground
So.... we reached the top of the waterfall and found this little nice pool..... well.... first let us show you all the origin of the Marco Polo game... the real one..... hahaha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtMcGe21Is&feature=youtu.be
more fun at the pool now going to the water born place... it was to low on flow this time tastes awesome!!! oops, couldn't help, I'm a macrophotographer... hehe now, going back to get a splash on the river...
Food was really incredible, I do not know what is it, but scramble eggs, coffee, tortillas, frijoles, etc, tastes so better then other places, is magical, is surreal.
weather was hot, so cold water was calling us.... after wonder around the several ponds of the river, we rode to the town for gas and food. there was a Quad event passing by there, so they asked us to pose for their magazine and also about some tips for riding on the area... hehehe http://400cc.com.mx/nortenazo/g0334.html the photographer http://400cc.com.mx/nortenazo/g0323.html the lady we did not met http://400cc.com.mx/nortenazo/g0516.html
later on we went to get more supplies to Rayones came back to start our second Grilling time!! Doggy, Doggy,... come on, come on here! (we are short on steaks... and you may result helpful) the Master Chef!! happy riders more swimming! the water is colder now..
Sunday morning, we had another great breakfast at Don Fabian's, and got ready to return. but the Zebra was leaking gas so we put some hands on... before a rooster finishe his morning singing, the zebra was ready and so we.... the final views of Rayones mountains now at monterrey area 40 miles before Reynosa, Huicho's bike decides to get loud!!
