I left Bellingham a week ago headed for South America but am currently wandering almost aimlessly in search of friends and relatives all over El Norte. Current plan is to cross into Mexico from Texas around mid-October, then try to make reasonable progress south until I run out of road, money, time, energy or mechanical functioning (mine or the bike).
Will check in here and elsewhere on an intermittent basis. I'm on an over-loaded KLR and will want some company into and around Copper Canyon (at least). Signal if interested.

Hi Guys, Flagstaff tomorrow and the Arizona/Mexico border in about 5-7 days. Intention at the moment is to drift down the middle but NOT Batopilas, seen it, done it, lost the T shirt. Then Hildago de Parrill, Durango, Espinosa de Diablo to Mazatlan for a couple of days off then towards the hell that is CA borders. But I am totally flexible and happy to meet up in Mexico but would be v.pleased (Brit understatement) to meet up before the aforementioned borders. Ride safe.

My plans are starting to firm up a bit. I'm going to be spending a week or two in San Cristobal de Las Casas for some spanish lessons. Currently thinking of hitting the US/Mexican border at Nogales then ride to San Cristoba. Oh, I'll have to make a stop at Tequila, MX too!
After the classes I'm headed all the way south.
Should be at the US/MX boarder sometime during the week of Oct 18th and in San Cristobal Nov 2nd.

Why not San Cristobal? I'm starting classes at Spanish language school Instituto Jovel on the 16th. I've heard its a good school.

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.
