I have to tell you that your English is fantastic.

I thought Basaseachic Falls were 1000+ feet? Do you accept gringos on your trips? I'd like that one.

We sure do !! as a matter of fact the only prequisite its the desire to wheel and to have a good time.

At last i got a photo of our trusty river guide

The kid made a killing, we were first and gave him 5 bucks per car. (Up from our standard 2 bucks per group fare.)

Just out of curiosity, how intense was the "wheeling" part of the trip? Did you guys have to deal with huge ruts, rocks, etc. or would it be managable in a stock SUV/truck?

 

[efuentes]

It was rought, i would recomend at least 31s-33s some good shocks, a rear locker and a mild lift.

It made me smile to see this thread back to the top this morning. "Una sonrisa en la manana."

Thanks for the GPS tracks.
