San Carlos Mexico

It was raining. That was good. It meant it wasn’t snowing. The road rose after we left Cananea, Sonora, riding south along the Rio Sonora River. This was familiar territory and as the sun played hide and seek I thought about other rides in Northern Mexico (see “Along the Sonora River,” MOTRA, July August 06) and the smiles started despite the rain.

After a night in Bisbee, AZ, it was early morning when we loaded the gear and headed out. Our destination for the day would be Banamichi and a night with our dear fiends, Bill and Irma, owners of La Posada del Rio Sonora. Our ultimate goal – The town of San Carlos on the Sea of Cortez.
