Then we come to a breech in the diked up road with a river running through it, I had on my surf trunks and walked until I found a shallow spot with a hard bottom to ford. We got to Cadije at late dusk, we couldn't find the trek out of the mini grand canyon in the fading light until a truck came from San Juanico and we saw where he crossed the river, it was still an hour to navigate the next 8 miles, it was very dark when we pulled up to the bluff at second point, so much for my "we're going to get it today ". BUT I GOT IT TOMORROW! The south road is longer, but faster now Click to expand... The first time I ever went (late 90's) I drove straight through from S.D., got to the North road after dark. Was a pretty cool experience, clear sky and semi bright from stars. I had a few younger kids with me who were scared out of their minds about being lost, I just kept driving on instinct. We got to the river crossing and I sent it, showed up to the cantina in the twilight hours, slept it off and awoke to 6+ morning glass. I went back four times that summer, as soon as I would get back and talk to people about it they would say "I wish I would have went "and I would say "Let's go" and be back on the road a few days later. Rosa and I went for a month at the end of summer when everyone heads home for school, that was the best! I had read up online about how to get there, and no kidding the advise was follow the Tecate cans. It was true, that night I would see cans along the trails which brought comfort to know I was going the right direction. |
