MISSION MISION
Day 5, Morning Ride
After luxuriating the early morning away, it was time to depart while we still had good weather and morning light.
On the road to Satevo.
Keith having a Jack Handy moment with the Big Katoom.
Rio Batopilas Valley, view towards Mision Satevo.
Hippy Mike? Rest Stop Mike? The world will never know!
All along the roads and dirt tracks of Mexico, one finds these small roadside shrines. Some of the shrines are to particular saints, some are nice remembers of departed family members, and some have trinkets in them from along the road.
I believe this is a shrine to St. Jude due to the presence of the prominent club in his hand. I could be wrong, it may be a shrine to Miguel Cabrera and his hard drinking ways, presumptively including Cerveza Sol.
Deeper view of the Batopilas River towards Satevo.
Folks taking pictures of folks taking pictures.
Rolling up on the Mision Satevo, built in the mid-late 1700s.
This young woman is an enduring feature of the Mision Satevo visit. She suffers from a form of epilepsy and receives contributions for her medicine and the upkeep of the church. She is quite friendly, perhaps a bit odd, showing off some interesting and family-friendly "tricks".
Satevo is primarily a Tarahumara village.
Inside the Mision. Lenten/Easter decorations were present.
Good luck getting to the ladder, good luck if you get on it.
Local Kids.
I need better photography software.
Danny does not need better software:
Shawn, keeping it...real.
On the way out.
Beer Break above the Rio Batopilas.
Ben, enjoying the rock.
Hallmark Moment with Ben and Jeff.
It started raining in the Satevo area while we were enjoying our beers. The wind freshened and the temperature dropped 6-10 degrees. There had been a 20% chance of rain forecast, so we thought it would blow in and out. We stowed the empties and rolled on back to Batopilas.
We arrive back in town to no sign of rain!
Conversations were had and it was decided that Ben and Shawn were going to try out the town's zipline.
Interesting times to come...
