T...Yup, this is going a lot slower than we thought. The roads are quite good, but since before Basaseachi and almost to Hidalgo del Parral, they often have been extremely curvy and steep, often times requiring 2nd gear (out of 5) going up AND down and yielding an average speed of 30 mph. I figure, we already have added two weeks to our trip, and who knows what else we encounter. But we're enjoying the trip, if we were in a hurry, we would have flown.Marcela and Dieter, ShredAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08256723044613465548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162964369963969087.post-76219380686071920132008-10-19T11:07:00.000-07:002008-10-19T11:07:00.000-07:00Well it seems you guys have really taken the sceni...Well it seems you guys have really taken the scenic route... no idea you were going to cross the divide...<BR/>I have seen a program on the Copper Canyon area which seemed very similar to the SW US....some rugged country with traces of some early visitors with petroglyphs in some of the bluff shelters... high on my list of places to visit in Mexico...<BR/><BR/>Good to see at least had a chance to fly electric at Caborca International.. but sounds like the slope access not too promising, just not enough logging down there... have to see about a burro maybe.... but don't forget to charge the batteries first...<BR/><BR/>And despite the grueling roads looks like your getting too see some great country and meeting some friendly folks and finding some time to play, ....not just beating it down the road to the destination.... the way to travel, I'm envious.....<BR/>Later Jim<BR/>Hmmm ...not sure this has posted???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
