Great Divide Ride- the Ride Begins

Then to the Eastern side. We were tired. To the Canadian Border on Chief Mountain Highway and then, rather than stopping at St. Mary Lodge for the night, fortified with espresso we headed home( a 3 day trip)...

I hope you enjoyed the pics-- we thoroughly enjoyed the trip-- 7000 miles, more than half of these along or around the Continental Divide, with side trips thrown in.
If you are thinking about a trip like this and I can help with routes, etc. let me know.

I love the pictures. It looks like it was a very scenic trip.

I would love to have everything you could send via email. PM me and we will visit.
From the east to start your trip I assume you came up I-10. Since you started in Columbus, NM you had to go through Deming, my home town. Columbus, up until 9/11, was the only place in the continental US that had been attacked by a foreigner. Pancho Villa raided the town, killed about 10 locals and burned a few buildings. My grandfather had a store there that the terrorist burned down.

Thanks for the report and all of pictures... "Uncle Jakescase"

edit: ( My 100th post. Glad it could be on your fine trip report)
