"CHIHUAUA" "SIERRA MADRE"
The words evoke memories of Pancho Villa. His first great victory was right here. His final determining defeat was here. It also makes you think of Humphrey Bogart in his great 1940's movie ""Sierra Madre", the mother of all mountain ranges.
Today was a rest day in Chihuahua. I spent a couple of hours in the library reading about the state (estado) of Chihuahua and the city of the same name. Tomorrow, Yota and I begin to follow the route of "EL CHEPE". That's an elegantly appointed train which follows the route of the "Barracas de Cobre", the Copper Canyon from Chihuahua over and across the Sierra Madre and descends to the town of Los Mochis on the Gulf of California.

Yota and I will not ride the train. We will follow the roads that parallel the tracks, take a few side roads, stay where we might, and just take it all in.

Sounds like you are having quite the adventure. Glad you are staying safe, although I must say, the tank event made me a little nervous. I look forward to seeing what happens next!
