i know to some these drives i do make no sense when there are planes and trains and such but, i love driving...and i know it often seems even more weird that i only stay in place a few days, or less sometimes but, that's just the way i do it...i have to keep moving and see what there is out there. i did manage to read on the beach the other day, relaxed a little but that was that and now i'm back on the road.
the weather was fucked today and it rained a great deal for the better half of my drive today. it didn't clear up until i got near culiacan - the illegal drug capital of mexico (i'm not kidding..)..and it was there that i nearly ran out of gas today...that would have been wicked. running out of gas where they have strung up guys from overpasses...of course last night i was reading all about the drug trade in mexico. man....serious shit. don't tell issy...
they have these random check points on the highway down here and i manage to make it through all of them no problema...they're usually just looking for fruit but sometimes they're looking for other 'stuff'...i saw some guys who, i guess, they thought had some 'stuff'...and they were basically taking their car apart and putting all the parts on the road next to the car. as soon as i was waved along...i made my way outta there.
i'm holed-up again at the best western in navajoa. and after having a few carne asada tacos at the stand down the way have decided to hunker down and get some sleep...
i'll continue north tomorrow with a few little stops and should be back across the border tomorrow night or the next morning. i'll need to grab a bottle of this, some of that, and then head into arizona to see spike.
