Leaving from Presido, TX
Due to a change in plans I don't have anyone to ride with across the border. Is anyone out there planning on using the Presido, TX crossing around the 12th or 13th?? If so I would like to tag along. Not that familar with the language (even though I have ridden a good bit in Mexico)nor do I have good maps (no GPS).
If El Paso is an option I can ride the 200 miles from Alpine and meet there also.
Take care,
John

I'm not crossing there, but have done in the past. It's a very quick, easy and relaxed border-post; you shouldn't have any difficulties solito, español o no.

James,
I've crossed there before also. Just like to ride with someone else when I don't know where I'm going. I may end up in Canada or Central America. <G>

Hi John,
I'm planning to cross this border to go to the UH Meeting with another guy from Canada around this time.
No problem if you want to cross the border with us.
Just tell me how I can reach you before getting there.

I'll most likely be crossing there about that time. Wouldn't mide a companion. Are you planning on riding directly to Creel or farting around a bit? What are you riding? Dual sport or stick to the pavement type?
Ojinaga to Creel by most direct route is easy in a day. Did it last year (actually up to Marfa).
The Ojinaga crossing is nice: Small, relaxed, much easier than Juarez or Nuevo Laredo, imho.
Anyone interested drop me an email. So far I'm riding alone unless I pick up anyone on the way.

I am aiming to cross at Presidio on the morning of the 13th. Already emailed Kurt. I'd be up for some dirt but would like to reach Creel on the 13th if that is possible.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
