I had read that the US was allowing the Mexican army to cross and use the railways to get ahead of Pancho, that made him consider the US fair game. Also, that what finally defeated his army was barbed wire. As he relied on horses and lightning fast charges to win battles. General Pershing chased him into Mexico. It was the first use of mechanized vehicles for our military, prior to the Great war.

The Paisano Baptist encampment is pretty cool to explore from the 1920s. Also in Del Rio stop by a Chicos Tacos for a real food treat sometime. I so laughed when you said Chopping Broccoli :) : ).

My grandfather was an ol' wildcat oil driller in West Texas (some of it around Langtree, I think while Judge Bean was there) and he talked about sometimes sitting in the saloon while Poncho Villa came to town and said Villa always just sat around the saloon getting drunk while his men stole everything in town that wasn't nailed down and some that was. He didn't have much good to say about him just that he was a drunkard and scroundle.

Hey ya. The first thing I always do when a shock is leaking is to validate that it’s simply not dirt caught in the seal. Often that’s the case and not a damaged seal. A thin piece of plastic cut in the shape of small knife from a lettuce carton - work between the seal and fork and at an angle drive it around the circumference to work any dirt out. It can be the penny tech cure.

Hey Chris, I've wondering how you like your new Forma boots? I'm in the market for new boots and looked at these after you mentioned you bought them. I like the looks of them, and I ride a variety of bikes. My latest acquisition is a Ducati Multistrada, and I could use little extra in the leg length arena, it's about the same height as your and Richard's GS's. Now back to watching your Marfa adventure. I tried to book a vintage camper at El Cosmica in Marfa for September, but apparently that's when they have a huge music festival. Okay, back to the road.
