Here's the story of 4 buddies who took on a mountain pass, south of the border. Most of the trail had been cut by cows or maybe donkeys or even Dragons, who can be sure...

A little clarification for the title of this thread, "Incendio en las Nubes", in English translates to "Fire in the Clouds". Photos to follow from one or more of the other three "Conquistadores" explaining the thread title.

See this rainbow, somewhere out on the road, headed south? I think this was a sign of things to come...

Standing at the immigration desk Stingray wonders just exactly what the nice lady is saying while pointing at the stamps, or lack there of, in the back of his passport. Hugo steadily translates as they ask why has he been in country since May with only a 7 day visa...... Surly he didn't forget to check out of the country on his last visit to Mexico......
About this time Stingray wonders if he will be sitting in a cold cell eating stale tortillas while his buddies chase dragons through the fiery goat trails of sierra Rica.
Somewhere in the background Norbert can be heard speaking to a border agent in Spanish trying to convince them he is in fact an American.....
Iz simply points to the mountains and shouts "Follow Me"!

We crossed the border the night before the actual start of the ride to take care of paperwork (Visa's & Vehicle Permits) and then headed back to the Three Palms in Presidio to rest up for the trip. Well that was the plan anyway, until somebody broke out a bottle of tequila.... next thing I know we're in the hotel courtyard sharing burgers and beers with a crew of electricians out of Odessa that were in town on a job of their own.
They too were motorcycle enthusiasts that matched us story for story as the night went on. Nobody could top this guy who acquired a new shape to his arm during a bike accident.
The next morning started with a healthy breakfast and Hugo demonstrating his machine gunning technique. Apparently while on a submarine back in the 60's he was responsible for the sinking of many a milk jug during top side target practice exercises. We were really feeling safe knowing that Hugo had our backs!

Come on y'll stop the waiting game....................... 
I followed on Spotwalla. When you guys first crossed into MEX you headed straight towards the Lajitas area (which is on the US side for those who may not know), curious what you were doing there??? Lunch maybe?

We had a few things to accomplish on our way into the mountains. First we needed to stash a few supplies that we would need later in the trip. Second we wanted to check out the road into Lajitas. We've seen this place many a time from the north side of the river and talked about how great it would be to cross there. It's really a shame that they no longer allow it. In reality I think Iz was just wanting to inspect a possible escape route in case things ever get a little hairy.
Next we rode into Manual Benavides for one last fuel stop for both the bikes and us! The restaurant we rolled into was pretty swanky.
We had fun talking with the gas station attendant about his magic wall of gas.
This was a full service station where you could get both gas for your bikes and shoes for your horse. Buying horse shoes appears to be similar to buying tires as you can get them in sets of 2 or 4.
As usual Hugo is the one always in trouble with law. In this case he was expressing his concern over the lack of a senior citizens discount back at the restaurant!
Daylight was running out and we needed to get into the mountains to find a decent place to camp for the night. Preferably someplace without rocks, that shouldn't be an issue should it........

I think Hugo was tryingto explain why the bike' serial number didn't match his registration. Oh, that's another story.
