They're back together again... I'm so jealous of their trip!!

[Nick_Ninja]

I want to hear the story of why the separation of the group??? I hope that there are no mechanical issues going on down there in MX.

Perhaps it was a cavity search. Anyone want to bet on who the lucky fella was?

Me too.

This is so neat to see their route being mapped.

[= Buckeye Jess =]

Very true! Although since the straggler was still in the US when it happened, I'm hoping that means everything was properly resolved!
Is 636 getting updates on the phone by chance??

[636chick]

I talked to Bash last night but alas not today. With the trackers they have on their bikes they have to push the upload button on the tracker every hour. As I haven't heard anything today I would guess one of them forgot to hit the button this morning. But they appear to be together now around Hermisillo. Here's hoping that they aren't in a jail by Hermisillo :)

I check their progress a couple of times a day as well.
Day 1 to Deming
Day 2 to Douglas
Day 3 to ?
They’ve now traveled about 970 miles. It seams like a long way to ride on big thumpers- but I don’t underestimate the dual sport bikes. I’m sure there having a great time! I thought they would head for the beach, but have instead gone toward the high country. The weather forecast looks perfect for riding.

Chihuahua, Mexico (not too far from them)

No Krissy no need for beach

[636chick]

All seems quiet so far this morning, still hangin in Hermillso must be sleeping in.......(knowing Mental and Weaver Bash and Mike are probably having a hard time getting them up and moving this morning)

I was thinking they were heading right for the coast yesterday but looks like they have turned inland some. Copper Canyon that way I guess?????? The highlight if the trip for Bash is riding to the bottom of Copper Cayon, so I would guess that is the way they are heading.

It looks like Bike 2 has been a steady 5 miles ahead of Bike 1 all day. Did someone forget to shower last night?

Geez you have riden with Bike 2 before and this suprise's you??????

Actually for awhile this morning it looked like bike 2 went on his own little side trip then caught up with 1 again knowing bike 2 doesn't suprise me. :banghead:

I have plenty of miles logged behind Bike 2 and it is usually a few miles ahead of the "pack", of course I am on his heals due to the fact I usually don't know which route we are taking, but I don't think Bike 2 knows either and makes it up as we go.

I did notice one zigged and the other zagged. But turning on the satellite view showed bike #2 at what looked like a washed out creek crossing. Suppose they did a little explorin'?

With Bash ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

It almost looked like maybe he Zigged when he should have Zagged but with that 4-some anything is possible. Curious though it almost looked like someone didn't make the right turn and had to back track to the highway, but then again looks like that road meet up with the highway further south maybe he was looking to get into the dirt and off the highway and was foiled by mother nature. Looking forward to hearing about though and getting a good laugh hopefully.

Got a text from the Bandidos last night and they are having a great time Bash say's LOTS OF TWISTY'S they will be in Copper Cayon today. Thankfully no Mexican jail for them so far but today is a new day eh!!!!!

[Tipys]

im sure you would only mind if they got thrown in jail because you would have to go bail them out.

[Airreed]

Im sure I missed "the other thread" somewhere, but what bikes are they on?

Glad they havent met up with the Federales!!!!

Enduro bikes. :)

[OldKneeDragger]

Yep, it sure looks like they are still out there looking for the right road to Copper Canyon.

Just a little hint, The bottom of Copper Canyon is Batopilas and the main entry point is Creel (both shown on the map below). They are still quite a ways out.

Hope you guys are havin' fun.
If you get into any trouble with the local police just tell 'em you know me.
(BTW, my real name is Pablo Escobar.)

[OldKneeDragger]

Oh yea of little faith... They made it! Now lets see if they can find the way home again. I suggested to them that they enter at Polomas, MX (Columbus, NM) a very out of the way and safe re-entry point but then again, it's their trip! I can only wish I was with them.

[Nick_Ninja]

Bet that they are warmer. Why come back to this icebox?

http://rally.star-traxx.com/rallyview.asp?Rally=85

[OldKneeDragger]

Looks like they are back to the border now. They should be on the US side after taking care of all the permitting.

One of the units actually quit reporting a few hours ago, I'm willing to bet the batteries are just dead but we will find out soon enough. I'm sure they are all together...

[Igor]

I posted this in Mental's soco thread. I forgot about this one, so I'm posting it here.

I'm interested in hearing about this trip...

Looks like mental, with OKD's tracking unit is well on his way back. He's in T or C right now heading up I25. Meanwhile, Bash with my unit (which hasn't reported since 9:30 this morning) is still well south of the border...

Like OKD said, hopefully the batteries simply quit, or he just stopped pressing the button. Those are some rough roads though, so it could have bounced off into the bushes too. Maybe it will get picked up and we'll have a chance to track the local drug cartel :guns:

Since no one in that crew would leave anyone THAT far in the dust, I'm sure the treo is safe. :)

[636chick]

Bash has refused to come home he say's he is a GOD in Mexico and he isn't coming back. EVAAR!!!!!!


Krissy will start taking bids for Bash's garage auction on Monday the 30th!!!!!! :drink:

[Tipys]

I got 5 dollars and all the nicky pictures you can handle

[Bashed]

We are all back and safe. No real problems
except that it was warm there and cold here.
We all had a great time and will be
posting ride reports when we find
the time to get settled in.
Later Bash

[COS Mille]

Welcome home. Glad it was a good trip.
