Welcome
Big John, glad to have you onboard. I too am hear in Colorado but up by Aspen. I rode the Big Dog ride back in 1999 and 2000. I was planning to ride this year as it was the reunion ride but schedule prevented me from doing so. I am an eight year veteran of the Colorado 500 as well. I have been a guide for MotoDiscovery, specializing in Mexico, Central America and South America, on and off since 1993. My wife and I have ridden from Texas to Santiago, Chile where her bike blew-up and we cut the trip short, back in 1999. We also spent four months touring from Europe to Moscow, USSR back in 1988.
If I can be of any help with your plans for the Copper Canyon, let me know. My Great-Grandfather was the founder of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, as well as the United Sugar Refining Company and was the driving force behind the Copper Canyon train. Unfortunately he died back in 1937 while on an around the world trip in Hong Kong, China. The railroad project was then sold to the Mexican government and eventually opened in 1960.

PS-Nice photos of what looks like either Mosquito or Pearl Pass.
