Back in one piece

We made it back to Boise without too many problems. Above you will find the last of my photo postings for this tour; although I may expand in July if I tour Alaska/Prudhoe Bay???

It is a very long story, but there has been a significant change of plans for the tour. We got a little bit lost in BFE Central Mexico, took a goat trail into the wilderness, ran into a goatherders son who told us that there were Banditos looking for us near a mine near Choix, MEX and we ended up having to back track nearly 4 days to get out of harm´s way. On our way back to civilization, a fellow dual sporter from Argentina who we were going to meet up with crashed north of Copper Canyon, and we had to spend most of another day at the hospital getting him and his buddies squared away. At that point, there was no way we were going to make it to Central America and back by May 1st, so we toured NW Mexico for another three days, and took the ferry over to Baja per the recommendation of some ADV riders we had met. We are now in Cabo San Lucas, and will head north over the next week, back to California. There have been many interesting little adventures on this trip, and certainly never a dull moment...
