This evening we will catch the TAP bus north to Los Mochis for the start of our trip to Barranca Del Cobre, or the Copper Canyon. The Copper Canyon is in northwest Mexico and it is a group of 20 canyons, together being 4 times larger than the Grand Canyon in Arizona and much deeper in some places. We have hear this is a great trip from many other cruisers so we are going to check it out. In Los Mochis we will meet our friends Reg and Phoebe of SV Three Sheets who recently sailed from San Carlos to Topolobampo to leave their boat and join us on this excursion.
We bought tickets online for the bus, purchasing Servicio Conforto class tickets ($1494 pesos for 2 tickets), which was more expensive than Primera Class so we will see what it is like. We have packed some snacks just in case. The bus boards at 7:10 pm and it is about a 12 hour ride north to Los Mochis. We will probably not see much as it will be dark but that is part of the adventure. If Rich is able to sleep in a taxi on the way from Salt Lake City to Park City, Utah, at night, in the dark, in a blinding snow storm, perhaps he will be able to sleep on this trip.
Let the adventure begin.
