It's been a nice change of pace having my oldest brother in town with his only son, my nephew, tagging along. They flew in on Thursday, and we've been able to join them on some touristy things. Most recently, we took an ATV tour through the Sierra Madre mountains, where we stopped at a sweet waterfall. At the end, we had a decent meal, along with a free tequila tasting.
The wife and I shared an ATV whereas my bro and his son had their own. I don't know if I would have trusted my wife on her own anyway, lol. There were some really steep hills that I could see an inexperienced driver going too fast and falling down the mountain.
I grew up with ATV's, so I was doing everything in my power to fish tail on the turns and floor it to the max at every opportunity.
We were second in line behind the guide, and boy, did we get dusty!!! Doing this without the supplied bandanas to cover our faces would have been damn near impossible. Even with the bandana, the googles, and helmet, my eyes were still crusty with rocks and dust when we were done.
The waterfall was so amazing, I think they might be my favorite thing Mexico has offered me so far. I feel so rejuvenated and refreshed when I swim in that water. It's cold, but so welcoming. Not like a shower that's cold and you don't want to get in. I don't know what it is, but it puts me in my happy place.
It was so nice to have a babysitter to watch all the kids, get some alone time with the wife, and join my bro and nephew on a cool excursion.
If you're ever in the area, we went with Canopy River excursions. Took a shuttle to their camp at the top of the mountain, and then did all the activities. Afterwards a nice new big van with AC took us back to town. All in all, it was about 6 hours.
You can also ride horses, swim in their pool, zip line all over the place, or just sit, enjoy the view, and have a meal. I would recommend it, we had a good time, albeit the food was pretty meh.
Thanks for reading and keeping up with me.
Much love y'all.
Hive on!
Oh that looks like a fun day. I would love to swim in that pool of water by the falls, looks clean and inviting.
Glad you got to see your brother and nephew.
Good for you.
That water was SO refreshing, it was mahhhhh-velous.
Was great to see my bro and his kid too.Now my other brother is in town :) But he already leaves tomorrow. I have him guest bartending today, lol.
@roundoar03 slanging @ Ozzies!
That looks really awesome! I haven't been ATV riding in forever. My buddy used to have one and we would ride all over the woods around his house. Get chased off state land by the DNR, you know, all the good stuff! What a really beautiful place!
Oh ya, DNR was always fun to deal with, lol.
It was a good time, beautiful scenery for sure.
Hey, that's you I started following on Appics right? Is it worth putting a bunch of time in over there? I was excited about the move to TELOS but it took them so long to get it done.
Ehhhhhh....I don't think so bro...send me a link. I haven't done anything there.
Oh yep, it's totally not you. My bad. I was just glancing through and my eyes were playing tricks on me! Sorry.
That looks like an amazing day and my dog would absolutely love running around however I don't think he understands what a nope rope is.
Looks like some amazing prime snake country and some beautiful scenery.
Thank you very much and hope you have an amazing day!
Don't get too crazy with them four wheelers.
Thanks man! I was expecting to see some more wild life, tbh. Like snakes and other "jungly" creatures, but alas, it was just cows, lol. Like, literally on the atv trail....come around the corner and there are cows right in the middle of the trail, it was kinda comical. The guide would honk his horn and they would get out of the way.
That's awesome and I like cows.
They definitely make tasty burgers that's for sure.
