I departed after a delicious breakfast of fresh mango and banana covered with yoghurt, strong sumatran coffee, and blue corn tortillas covered with fresh picked greens and mexican cheese. Thank you La Troje de Adobe. The morning was cool, the road winds through pine forests and steep mountains. As the road descends the landscape turns to valleys with small farms and ranches and the occasional timber mill, then tree and cacti covered mountains. Past Yecora, the road is spectacular. Thre is only light traffic, the surface is good, and the views are beautiful. There must have been heavy rain the day before because there were multiple small landslides blocking one lane. Along this route I met the president of the Mexican Iron Butt Association, having a smoke next to his goldwing by the side of the road.
