Mexico

Catedral Metropolitana.

With heavy hearts, we said good-bye to our friends and headed south a day early. Lots of military presence on the highway this time around but once again no stops. Ten hours later we were back in Pachuca and hoping to get another climb on our final day. In the morning we made it to the trailhead but the drizzle, wind and 50 foot visibility were not conducive to making the approach. We drove back to Mexico City, returned the car, took a cab tour of the historic section and were home the following evening.

Freshly picked (?) strawberries on the side of highway 58 somewhere in the state of Guanajuato…nearly lost control trying to stop in time but they were so NOT worth it (Dec. 2013).

More villages in Hidalgo above the town of Pachuca (Dec. 2013).

Driving the mountain (dirt) roads high above Pachuca in search of our final climbing objective…we’d find the trailhead but also shitty conditions (Dec. 2013).

We’ve dropped below the clouds here after bailing on the idea of climbing on our final day. This is the high country of Hidalgo above the village of San Jose Tepenene outside of Pachuca (Dec. 2013).
