Copper Canyon decent continued

This is the shit you deal with on Mexican roads. You have to be a defensive rider and be prepared for the unexpected as there are no warnings. Chihuahua state especially as there r pot holes anywhere, sometimes all the way across the road. Jam on the brakes and hold on. We are always on edge. Worst part about it we've been caught riding into the dark for 2 hrs again tonight to make it to a safe area. Riding in the dark here is a big no no. You can't go fast, maybe 40 as the roads are super twisty with super sharp bends and mountainous. This is no walk in the park plus its so remote. Towns are far and few to find let alone find gas and a hotel. Scenery is great. This is an adventure.
 This is Basassachi Falls. Its a bit of a let down since I walked down a trail 1-1/4 miles just to see this. Yes that's all you will see. Its supposedly the highest falls in North Anerica, if not then Mexico. Couldn't really give too much if a shit really. This is a very very dangerous town. We had our gut feeling riding in but found out way later on how bad it really was. Skip it.
Just another obstacle to deal with in the roadway. We came around a mountainous sharp corner to find this.
Beautiful scenery but our main focus is the road. Pot holes appear suddenly.
