23and 24 june tour to desert cuesta malena, tunel end ranch

[SHANEA]

according to the weather station, 107 at 10:50am this morning, RGV.  wind speed = 0mph.  ick.  
seems like that almost has to be a mistake, with several more heating hours left in the day!

Make no mistake, here behind the Pine Curtain of Deep East Texas it was over 80 this morning @ 7:45am...  Hot, Humid, Sticky, and full of mosquitoes.

 Are you kidding me Viper?...ofcourse, you are more than welcomed !!!.
 We leave from Acuña , this friday at 5 pm , headed for a Ranch along the Sierra del Burro, as soon as we have breakfast saturday morning, we are haeding towards Ejido Carranza and meet the folks from Sabinas 4x4. BTW, there are some folks who ar tagging along from Monterrey, Tampico , Sabinas and the surroundings as well.

 The invitation has been posted so every one who is interested can come.

 Just make sure of the following:
* Every vehicle should be self sufficient
* Check your vehicle mechanically,suspension and tires. Double check the last two.
* Try and bring with yourself as much water as possible. Remember: no showers , roads,rangers,restaurants until we reach Muzquiz, again.
* I am looking forward to this trip, since i have posted so much from other friends who have given me their pictures but never been myself. So i am eager.
* If you don´t abuse your vehicle, you should be able to overcome all obstacles the back roads should throw us.
* i think you have a nice 4x4. Jeep Cherokee, you should be more than able to go back and forth with us.
* I wish there would be more folks to take a step forward and get this rare opportunity to see the mexican side for themselves.
* there will be over 650 kilometers of back road that we will travel. Try and over plan for fuel consumption.
* All vehicles should be readily stocked with food for the trip. ( Friday, Saturday and Sunday). We should be getting to Piedras Negras or Cd. Acuña, which ever suits you best to cross over to the states on Sunday the 24th.

 If interested, please PM me and will give you the details.

If it was this time last year I'd be right there with you, as long as you could find me room in someones vehicle!  Extremely fortunately I'm employed now with zero vacation until at least October.  Otherwise, it would be "do you want fries with that or would you like to super size that order?"     Oh well, I did have a 9-10 month "vacation" with many visits out west.    :D   Plus, if everything goes according to plan I'll have 4 months of vacation a year from now on and if things go really well, every day will be a vacation day...

Um, yeah....I'd need to bring along enough stuff to stay for a while, cuz my wife probably wouldn't let me come home!  :oops:  Thanks for the offer.  Sounds like it'll be quite an adventure.

Well my trip date is getting nearer: This Friday 22nd.  I am eager and nervous at the same time, why?.

 Simple: Eager : because i finally get a chance to go to one of the farthest places in Coahuila, completely isolated from every one and at the same time very interesting because i will get the opportunity to go and see many places such as the la Linda Bridge, The church, the Dupont Industrial complex (abandoned) , the 4 Palmas mine, the La Tinaja ecotourist ranch in La Linda (which i never knew it existed) , and the road to La Linda from Cd. Acuña which encompasses the outskirts of Serrania del Burro. of course i have NOT added The Cuesta de Malena, The Sierra de Santa Rosa Tunnel and more variety than time can permit me.

Nervous: Because my mind is messing with me   ,since i am going to a place very far from any place i have been before. Eventhough there are many 4x4 vehicles that are tagging along, it is still a very isolated place to go and the risk of the unknown is always present with me.

 Again, all my 4x4 trails have been exited. Almost always i get the goose bumps before i go, and i think it is normal to feel this way. I bet Jaime01 is reading this and laughing his socks off  :roflmao: ...maybe i should too....Aaaaahhh, what the hell  :!: . I should just think positive and go with the rest of the guys. I know  Megalo77 is tagging along and will show us the trip of a lifetime..i should just clam up :!:  :-#

Homero, you guys have fun and be safe.  We're all eagerly awaiting the trip report and lots of photos!
