I am in Creel tonight writing about the last couple of days. When I left Sahuapira I went down the road a bit and found a "unpaved road". Well it was unpaved alright, Down to 1st gear for a lot of it and did some climbing. Got up to an elevation of 2375 meters. Yes it cooled down a bit. I passed through some small towns and finally stopped for lunch on the side of the road at a little place that said restaurant. It turns out to be someones house that does food when people stop. Good food. I talked with the husband and he was deported back to Mexico but had lived most of his life in the States. Turns out the area I was in was a big mining area for gold. I did notice one town looked like they had a mine there but not three of them.
He also informed me that the road I was one was a major drug transportation route. I guess I am glad to finished there.
Back on the payment and down some great twisting roads to San Juanito for the nigh. Found a hotel and it was cheep but the hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on.
This morning it was cool and got to cold, dropped to 0 C as I was traveling to Creel. Funny enough as I came into Creel the temp climbed to 10 C. I traveled into the canyons and saw some great sights. The road turned into shit again and after about 20 more Ks of this I thought that I might just have to take a pass on this for the day. My back was not too excited about it.
