Up the creek: Cañon del Sumidero

mdsomerfield November 19, 2012 North America

Back in August, I took a float trip down the Colorado River, through a canyon of burnt-orange sandstone walls that towered over 1km high at it’s peak as it wound through the hot Arizona desert. The guide was informative and cheerful, a seemingly endless goldmine of information

Having travelled south from the madness of Mexico City, Oaxaca was a pleasant yet unexpected breath of fresh air. The Mexican capital was a vast, dirty melee of constant noise and activity where it was almost impossible to find a moment of tranquility. But in Oaxaca I

Vagabonds in Mexico

Before we get to the aforementioned casa windows, we want to bring you an update on Anita’s brother’s adventures. If you recall last May he and his lady friend traveled to Xico from Las Vegas in an older pickup pulling a home-made trailer. The intrepid couple sold out of their lives in Las Vegas, Nevada to move to Puerto Escondido – even though they had never been here,

Yes, crazy we know; and the second couple to do such by way of reading our Blog – oh the responsibility of it all! Their adventure was recorded here mid-May of this year (Read HERE). Or read several entries about their adventures in the second half of last May’s Blog entries HERE)

A couple short weeks after their arrival here in Mexico, they flew off to Europe for five months which included a side trip to Israel. Halloween eve they arrived back in Xico where their caravan has been waiting safely in front of the Calypso Casita for those five months.

They had a whirlwind trip in Europe visiting many castles, countries and his partner’s son and grandchildren.

Now in Xico they prepared to continue the adventure in Mexico – of course we are already here in Puerto Escondido. So off they embarked to drive the 13 hour- 480 mile – trip to Puerto Escondido. That was on Sunday morning last. They arrived here Tuesday evening at 6 PM – three days later! Obviously the going was slow.

The truth is they did not exactly arrive here. They managed to get stuck on a road we NEVER use – about 100 yards from our house. It is actually our road. But, it becomes treacherous just a few feet below the Benito Juarez cross street – they had been warned. Instructions were not easily accessible thus some wrong turns.

Standing at the corner looking down the road a half block.

You can see the twisted trailer to the left in the trees.

Before getting much into the stuck truck/trailer problem we had a beer and spent a few minutes catching up.  Then back to the scene of jack-knifed trailer on despicable dirt roadway. Now it was very dark. Our neighbor Fernando came to give support and help (thank you vecino).

The truck has been plagued with transmission problems – groaning and moaning like a bull stuck in mud up to its snout, the loaded truck and overloaded trailer were NOT budging.  No matter how much the truck was steered to correct things the trailer simply continued to slide eventually getting very close to another kind neighbor’s lovely front wall – dangerously close.

After several frustrating attempts the neighbor with the wall compassionately explained the caravan was stuck in a safe place, further he had a loud dog, and there was plenty of light in the area. He  suggested leaving all this stuck-ness until morning. The two travelers had been all day on the road – all three days on the road. Suggestion adopted by unanimous vote (it was election night after all).

The following morning we secured a storage room nearby. Yes, they do have very modern storage facilities here in Puerto Escondido.

Through most of the day the trucks contents and most of the trailer’s, save the motorcycle were unloaded, Later today we will get the trailer and moto out of its precarious location.

So life is good for the vagabond couple thus far, albeit not trouble free. I think my brother-in-law will attest to the fact that moving 2500 pounds of stuff in a single axle trailer rated at 700 pounds over Mexican roads is not recommended.

Like Jim and Mindy more than five years past, this couple has made some bold moves to be here in Mexico. What their next move will be – you will have to Stay Tuned as your guess is as good as ours.
