Nick's rig

Valle Tio Vinces camp ground: A green portal opened in the fire but no one wanted to enter it. Very mysterious!! We think we had a UFO encounter. Can you see a bucking horse in the smaller green image? There were also weird humming and buzzing noises on and off all night.

Rolling through a Forest Road

There were several washed out roads due to torrential downpoors in August. This used to be a road.

There were several fun water Crossings

Heading North towards Pie Town.

Another buried token

Mckensie (on the mountain bike) is finishing her solo GDR ride across the great United States. She had already ridden across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming & Colorado and only had three more days of riding to get to Mexico. Taylor and McKensie are both Nurses and have a lot in common. Taylor is riding across the United States on a 1986 Honda XR250. Both ladies are doing great things!!!

Taylor journaling our day. She keeps great notes and I'll publish them when she's done.

We saw a herd of wild Mustangs but they ran away before we could take a picture. There was also a donkey with them. Here's donkey

Lowell saw a dead rattle snake and Nick took it's rattle for the grandkids. Peter relieving himself in background.

Taylor was trying to bump start her motorcycle and it slid sideways on a hill and she crashed. Luckily all she did was break her fingernail but it was very painful for the rest of the ride. Her pinky finger is bleeding.

Burried tokens at three places. 1- Road 81, 26 miles north of the Antelope Wells and the Mexico border. 2- Beaverhead workstation. 3-On the way from Valle Tio Vinces camp ground to Pie Town.

Taylor making PBJ for lunch on the trail.

Breakfast is served

There are a lot of beautiful rock formations in New Mexico

Snack break on the Continental Divide

We rented cabins so we could all get a good night's rest after day-1 of riding and Andy's trip to the ER.

Andy 'Doinked' in a DEEP sand pit and got gouged. Nurse/Paramedic Taylor heroically saved the day!!! The Silver City ER patched Andy up.😀

Watch out for giant cactus bushes!

Tornado???

In the first few miles we ran into a rattlesnake then later on we ran into two different pit vipers. on the same day we saw a giant Elk, probably 12 to 14 ft tall, we also saw a desert Turtle, a horned toad, heard of antelope and over 15 tarantulas. Quite an impressive welcome party! 🤑

Mexico, the beginning of our adventure North across New Mexico. Taylor, Peter, Nick & Lowell. ( Andy taking the picture) Notice the border wall in the background.
