Anyone going: Copper Canyon, Mexico, Oct 31 - November 2 20
Looks like a great chance for newcomers to explore a little bit of Mexico without a huge investment of time or money.
Anyone else planning to go?! Want to meet in Nogalas Arizona?
Cheers,
Gerry

Minimal details so far - there are a couple of great guys from the area working on setting it up - apparently we have cooperation from the local officials, and we are planning on lots of events and interesting stuff happening besides the usual slide show and a ride. Should be a great event!
You DO want to be there!
As soon as we have some stuff locked down we will be announcing it. Thanks for your patience.

Forgot to mention that I have a buddy supposedly coming on a GS Adventurer and when I spoke to Al Jesse, he was very interested in attending also. Pretty good company.
For those passing through Phoenix, the welcome mat is out. I can accomdate a few folks and I'm sure we can help out others with friends.
Cheers,
Gerry

I want to leave now, but the trip would be kind of cold down through canada. I could do a small slide show on Alaska in some little town like Batopilas. It sounds like a great time to me. Arizona would be my point of entry, and I dont know many people in AZ. If its for sure, I'll be there. If its not for sure, I might be there anyway!!!

Count me in too, I live south from Chihuahua in Guadalajara, maybe 600 miles away but I love Copper Canyon, If I go, I will try to get permission from Peñoles Mine Company to see if we can enter the Crystal Cave mine, almost like Superman's secret cave, has 120 degrees farenheith and lots of natural crystal, huge ones. Ill keep in touch

ALL are invited, details moving forward as we speak - at the moment we have support form the government, three hotels have offered full support, there will be conducted tours of the area, cultural events to meet the local people, slide shows, international travellers, and lots more.
It's going to be a great event, and Susan and I will be there, so we look forward to meeting you all!
Keep checking the meetings page - link on left - for more details as we work them out.

A group of friends and myself are planning to go in the first week of September; I will appreciate your help if someone can tell me where to find trail (dirt roads) maps; we will use ATV's at the canyon.
thanks in advance

Grant,
>>It's going to be a great event, and Susan and I will be there, so we look forward to meeting you all!<<
Are there any more details on this trip yet. With my retirement moved up to an earlier date I may try and make this event just to meet some the folks.
Have ridden in Mexico before on the motorcycle, but would still like to meet up with someone that is going and ride along.
Take care,
John
