Well said Nels, as inviting as the late Dan Rosen's videos of Mexico's Copper Canyon seemed, it is still a whole different country. I believe my adventurous needs will be well served by annual visits to my favorite Colorado trails. Bonus, most times I don't have to get shots at the border to get in, woo HOO! Happy Trails, Dean : )

The worst thing about Copper Canyon is that there are no Motorhomes, Condos or Golf Courses. No Mac/Starbucks either for that matter. The only down side is that Batopilas is a 'dry' town. I wonder what the Spanish for bootlegger is. George Escondido, CA

Dry town??? hmmmm. I remember siting around the courtyard at the very plush Hotel Mary drinking something, and I don't think it was soda pop. Either Batopilas isn't a dry town, or Pancho Villa MotoTours did an even better job than I gave them credit for. Richard in Tucson 94 KLR650 86 VFR750

I somehow found myself at the bootleggers house, purely by accident mind you. That was for beer. A bigger problem was up in Creel. I wanted to take some Hornitos down just in case I might want to drink some; you never know. They wouldn't sell it to me till 11:00 am thus delaying my descent. A small group of locals got a kick out of watching me pour a liter of tequila into a metal Sigg bottle. Bogdan
