Mar 16, 2009 - Tepic, Nararit to Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico

Our focus now is on riding rather than sight seeing as we have already covered most of the ground from Tepic north to Nogalas on the Mexican-USA border. After fueling up we hit the toll roads again and ended up cloking just over 500 km for the day before stopping in Culiacan. ... We found a very nice, American style, hotel and setlled in for the evening.Our focus now is on riding rather than sight seeing as we have already covered most of the ground from Tepic north to Nogalas on the Mexican-USA border.

Feb 20, 2009 - Mazatlan - Feb 17-21

Mazatlan…… After the 12 hour day and drive down the Devil's Spine, we decided to spend an extra day in Mazatlan. ... So, on our last night in Mazatlan, we spent it with cousin Joe and watched the surf splashing the shore as it was lit up by the moon and listened to music performed at the hotel's bandstand. ...

Feb 12, 2009 - Up to the minute reporting #2

The Mexican way . we pull on to a one way road circling a brand new, mostly dead, resort (that is to say, it had more workers than tourists which, unfortunately, seems to be the way everywhere we look and travel these days) to kill a few hours while we wait for the ferry from La Paz heading to Mazatlan, on the mainland. ...

Dec 11, 2008 - Teacapan, Sinaloa, Mexico

We took a slow drive down the “maxipista” this morning, actually it is the Mexican “super highway” between Culiacan and Mazatlan and is actually quite fast, even though it is expensive, but it can cut hours off the trip and is well worth the extra pesos for tolls. Today it hovered around 88 degrees at the warmest part of the day, but that felt just fine when we arrived in Teacapan for the night. ... The breeze is nice and warm off the coast and the heat doesn’t seem as intense as inland.We took a slow drive down the “maxipista” this morning, actually it is the Mexican “super highway” between Culiacan and Mazatlan and is actually quite fast, even though it is expensive, but it can cut hours off the trip and is well worth the extra pesos for tolls.
