Route across northern Honduras and then into Nicaragua

[TerraXpeditions]

Paging Lone Rider....

Adventurous route across Honduras.

Ok, So I am finally trying to iron out some details for my upcoming trip through Central America. Looking at my ITM map of Honduras, there seems to be a route along the entire north coast of Honduras that I am interested in.

I am thinking of crossing into Honduras near the Copan ruins then heading north to Tela, then east from Tela to Limon where my map indicates a "other road or track" that goes all the way to Nicaragua. Although it does not indicate swamps, there are several river crossings which might be a problem.... but the "road/track" continues. From my readings, this area is full of Garifuna villages... which should be cool.

The route follows the coast just past Tusi Cocal where it turns south to Brus Laguna and then eventually ends up at Leimus where there is a "crossing" into Nicaragua.

The alternate route would be, instead of continuing along the coast, to head south from La Ceiba and over to Catacamas up to Dulce Nombre De Culmi over to Leimus(or Waspam which has shown up on more maps).... Leimus to Puerto Cabeza to Managua.

Any ideas if this is doable? Or, get a set of knobbies and plan to spend a week wallowing out some mudholes? I'm young and in shape and from Louisiana.... I can handle it, huh?

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Ideas?

Thanks
Scott
