La Frontera and beyond


A good first day, Crossed the border at San Luis de Colorado in about an hour and a half, pretty straight forward, but definitely made easier by the fact that we came prepared with copies of all essential documents. Met two bikers on Beemers from Minnesota headed for the Copper Canyon, Mexico's version of our Grand Canyon. Got going again around 10:30 riding thro the familar bleak Sonoran landscape.........similar to the moon, but with fewer trees. Had to pour it on to make our goal of Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, about 600,000 people so we wound up riding over 400 miles and got here at 6PM. Very nice hotel and an all-we-could-eat Mexican buffet. We toasted our prowess with shots of tequila, and hit the sack. BTW, gas figures out to about $2.90/gallon for regular.
