CLICK TITLE ABOVE TO SEE ALL OF DAY 05 PICTURES

We left Catavina this morning headed towards Santa Catarina and then on to El Rosario.

The first 30 miles were new trails that we had never ridden before.










My handguard hit a cactus and it exploded

Made to El Rosario and hit Mama Espinoza's for a late lunch

Chad noticed he had a flat tire when we got to the Federale check just past El Rosario. We noticed a truck with an empty bed ahead of us and decided to see if we could make a deal with the guy to haul the bike to Old Mill for us. It was getting late and we felt like we would get into Old Mill after dark if we changed it on the road. We agreed on $30.00. After the check station, he pulled over so we could load the bike. after we got it loaded, one of the Federales came over and talked to the driver of the truck. After that he said that the driver wanted another $70. to haul the bike. I think the Federale wanted a cut and it ended up costin the guy his $30. We unloaded the bike and started fixing the tire.



This is what we saw on the ride into Old Mill
