Mexican Border

Date of update

Have lots of copies....10/11/2006----Creel, Mx- Two days ago we did the border crossing at Presidio. The true challenge of crossing a border became very real. First we were waved through. I guess they assumed we were only crossing for a day ride. We had to return get the papers for ourselves then the papers for the bike. Can you say copies, one word of advice make multiple copies of all documents ie. Title, registration, passport driver's license and credit card. Then you must get Mexican insurance. Then a trip to the next bank for immigration tax. Wow! Only two hours.

Creel-Batopilas

Date of update

Friends, falls, hospitals, Creel and Batopilas Oct 11 thru Oct 13- It was very good meeting fellow travelers at the HU meeting. In particular Cynthia Milton just coming from South America where she has been traveling as of late. She is now in good health after a bad Crash in Chile. I very much appreciate the information she imparted during our discussions. The good thing about the HU meetings is the interaction with experienced travelers.
