This's a very interesting and highly unusual photograph, actually pictures rushes in a sober condition! Not to be observed after 1700 hours daily; while in Copper Canyon.
One of the trip highlights was visiting Tarahumara Indian Girl's School in Cerocahui, here CHRIS_D and Phil are giving out candy to young students at Catholic School.
I am a train fan and one of the great sights on the trip for me was constantly seeing or hearing "El Chepe", the Mexican Chihuahua-Pacifico Railroad running to the Coast at Los Mochis. It usually was high above us on the side of the cliffs or we would see it across a canyon at the same elevation of us. This is El Divisadero station stop.
Did I mention incredibly great food we ate on this trip? We had an evening seafood meal at Huatabampolito La Playa that was excelente and huge; with killer margaritas!!
Each evening, our various Mexican hotel managers would find us a secure enclosure, either behind walls or gated bars, where we could safely store our motos nightly.
Batopilas was jewel of Copper Canyon cities we visited, European in flavor and actually founded by an American miner; stayed at Hotel Real de las Minas (Royal Miner).
Another incredible activity we did was ride the new cable car (opened 11/1) to 4K ft. elevation from the rim at 8K ft.; Swiss built and amazingly quiet with a smooth ride.
One morning, while waiting for our desayuno (breakfast) to be prepared, we were treated to a stupendous trials demonstration by our very own El Rey de Q-Tip Goober; local Chiniapas school girls were screaming out "Viva El Pendejo Grande, Viva" in awed admiration! Scott was indeed our most talented rider, when his KTM was dry!
Always enjoyed our stops along the road and the great conversations that ensued; we'd talk about loose FJR Forum women, what a JACKASS Bust is and FJR car tires!
Gentleman is Ivan Fernandez, Copper Canyon Tour Historian. Was a 1st for Moto Discovery, including Ivan as Historical Guide; he's a walking encyclopedia on Mexico!
