Glad you are starting to feel better, JD. If you need anything, let me know. I suspect you'll go through Laredo though.

Gotta love the Tapatalk app and iPad. Convenient? - yes. Frustrating at times? - oh yeah!

Thanks Juan. Crossing at Puente Colombia later today.

Here's a few pics from yesterday's ride.
SR might appreciate a few of the colors on the rock face.

Nice drop offs on this road.

A different perspective.

SR rock porn!

And to think the Mystery Rider went shopping, the CraneGuy stayed home, and Flid and I had to ride this one by our lonesome.

Over 7,000ft and it was near 27c! Really good riding weather.
See what happens when you get off the Mex #180 coast highway?

Hey, Bob, when you come over, we'll ride this one, eh!

Nice rock porn! you got me excited! Nice little volcanic dome in the middle of the second photo. It is suprisingly green over there in Eastern Mexico. It looks nice! The Sierra in Western Mexico is getting dry and brown!

Like Arte and Andres always say, it is Greenland.
The photos dont do it justice.

Let me introduce myself ... I AM a candyass who drives a GS and I enjoy Starbucks coffee immensely ... that said, this 59 year old granny who just started riding her BMW a year and a half ago and is a TOTALLY inexperienced cross country rider also enjoyed my 2 week trip from Yuma, AZ to the tip of the Baja Pennisula and back - I'm sure every bit as much as you enjoy your rides to where ever. There are all different types of bikes, riders and destinations and none of them disqualifies any other. To each his/her own! I drove my own speed and comfort level and stayed on road that fit my experience level - my trip took me totally out of my comfort zone and will be a treasure to remember the rest of my life

- one I would imagine I will repeat again in the future.

Good job!
If you had fun, that's ALL that matters. You rode into Mexico and had a great time. Welcome to the club. There are roads for every desire and skill level in Mexico, and they have Starbucks too. I've been to a Starbucks in Mexico and used their WiFi. You wouldn't catch me at a Subway down there though!

You simply wouldn't believe where we have been. St least I don't believe it. RR when we get back but thought I would share a few.

Fantastic little one lane mountain towns. With the bridge out. Can you say "Oh. Shit. "? I know I can.
