Let me wet your pick by showing you this short but beautiful video of our intended and some sort of eluding destination. After you watch it, you will understand why we are drawn to go there.

Hopefully I got your attention now!
Let me tell you a bit of background about the planning of this trip. It all started a few years back when two well known explorers, JTand Milton, decided to find a way through the mountains of Sierra Madre oriental to connect with Ojinaga on the other side and arrive about the time Uncles around the Bend would be starting. The later came and went and the two intrepid riders never showed up, at least by the time we left. Anyway, some of us heard of the attempt and decided to give another try. Iz and I contacted one of the intrepid explorers, JT, and the decision was made to go back and finish the deal. However, after talking a bit more about it, we decided that Maderas Del Carmen was good enough of a place to make it a final destination, a place that we could spend some time exploring and getting to know up close and personal. JT had collected lots of intelligence during the first attempt and between him and Iz planned a good route with known places where we could get fuel and water. We recruited our fourth compadre, Stingray, and made all the logistical plans needed to complete our mission.
The trip took place during MLK holiday weekend. We would camp 3 nights and ride 4 days. This schedule would give us plenty of time to ride around and explore the area. We checked the weather and it looked perfect. We all met in Junction and loaded all the bikes on IZ's trailer. We headed down to Del Rio where we dropped the truck and trailer and rode into Mexico. Our plan was to cross early enough and ride about 120miles to our first camp.
