road through the mountains
After the rain cleared the views became much better, well actually i was able to see more than a few meters in fromt of me. The ride through the high sierras was beautiful miles of twisty roads that make the old road to whistler look like a super highway. There was one point on highway 16 that i found myself hoping for a straight piece of road as it was mentally and physically tiring riding. Although the road is good there is always something around each corner from rocks and sildes as a result of the rains to my friends the donkeys.

early morning donkeys in the mist
There were groups of donkeys in the wild in the middle of nowhere at times standing in the middle of the road. Through the ride in the sierras there are no fences that i could see and the land was open and there were small herds free to roam the country side. i have only seen the donkeys on a few occasions being used as beasts of burden and only once did i see them being ridden.

As the weather cleared the views became even more spectacular as the road wound along the tops of the mountains

Took a look at all the photo’s tonight. That bridge that you are standing on looks awesome. I am really shocked at how beautiful some of these pictures are – nothing like I remember Mexico to be. We want to know were the cave goes to though? Stay safe.
