Sunday Nov 5, 2023 - Banamachi to Bisbee

Breakfast of yogurt and fruit this morning to try and purge our systems of Mexican food. Some of the riders were going back to the US but a lot were continuing south to San Carlos via Sahuaripa and some were going for another week west and up the coast.

But first the local priest had to do the annual Blessing of the Bikes.

We decided to continue south on Rt 89 and drive through the rest of the small towns on the Rio Sanora. In an hour or so we hit Rt 14 which took us back north another way. It was very curvy, narrow but very smooth and there were almost no towns for most of it. We then hit Rt 17, which is a bigger road that takes us all the way back to Agua Prieta and back across the border to Douglas. We stopped for a bathroom and drinks along the way and drove into A.P. the back way. We found the Banjercito again and they released our car so we could take the Sentri (aka Global Entry) back into the US. Then back home. Great trip and we think we figured the paperwork thing out. Next time will be pretty easy especially if we go to the “free zone” in Mexico.
