We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning. After cold showers (no hot water for the morning) and some coffee at a nearby Oxxo (Mexican convenience store chain, similar to 7-11 in North America), we were on the road at around 8:30 AM. The drive from Yécora to Basaseachi was incredible. The weather was finally […]
We left Hermosillo on Wednesday morning after breakfast and headed towards Yécora – a small town that falls between Hermosillo and Creel. We chose to stop here for the night because we planned to visit the Basaseachic Falls and didn’t want a long day of riding all the way to Creel, where we planned to stay to […]
We left Banámichi late Monday morning. We had narrowed down to three options for our next destination – Hermosillo, San Carlos, or Yécora. The first choice came when we reached Mazocahui, and had to decide between Hermosillo/San Carlos and Moctezuma/Sahuaripe/Yécora. We still had some work to finish, SIM cards to buy, and with the previous day’s […]
Our weekend in Banámichi was spent mostly working and helping our hosts with their website. We shot some footage of the hotel and surrounding area, and will be putting those up on our YouTube channel once they’re ready. Phil also went for a ride in the afternoon on Saturday with Tom and they crossed the Rio […]

Our first morning in Banámichi started with a hearty breakfast consisting of fresh fruits (mangoes, cantaloupes, and watermelons), scrambled eggs, beans, flour tortillas, orange juice, coffee, and tea. We did a bit of work post-breakfast and then our host, Tom, took us to the home of a couple, Stevan and Lucia, who are committed to sustainable […]
Our ride from Deming to Douglas on Wednesday morning was a short one at 2.5 hours. It wasn’t as scenic as what we had grown used to seeing so we didn’t stop as many times – just for the usual gas and water, mostly. We did have to pull over to the side of the […]
On our final morning in Albuquerque, we started the day with a fruitless attempt at trying to change a small amount of Canadian cash that I have been carrying with me into U.S. dollars. Since I won’t be back to Canada for a while, I figured that American cash would be useful for the remaining […]
