Parqe de cobre...

Creel was a cool tourist type town , met a guy fron Texas who runs tours their in sept oct . for bikers and quads . He gave use the rundown of the place , we had to wash our bikes before heading into the canyon, they were about 40 lbs too heavy with all the mud on them . The german guy decided not to go with use we got him into too much trouble the day before .. and the start of this day would have been the same for him a super windy rd going in , then contruction , so more mud , we can´t seem to get away from the snow ! After an incredible ride down into Bioplates bottom of the canyon , it was warm enough that we had to strip the cold cloths off again we dropped 6ooo'ft in 1 hr , nice area , had lunch and fixed a few bike problems , missing screws, bolts and a loose battery connection. The locals told us a short cut out of the canyon , well 3 hrs later and some really bumpy roads we were back at the rim again at sunset ! Back into the snow , cold weather cloths on again, riding in snow and mud at night , in the middle for f/&%$758king nowhere . We managed to find out way into a village asked some local women about a hotel , they thought we weer missionaries !! ha. The store was actually a hotel as well , but not much of one , still a place out of the cold. She then walked us across the street to a litte old ladies house and asked if she could feed us ! The best meal we have had in Mexico so far !
