Getting Nervous

I leave for China for 8 days, then come home for 4 days and we take off for Mexico for 5 weeks. The burden pf planning for what we need to do while gone has fallen to Lisa...bless her heart. Prepaying bills, lining up farm support, finding a home for the cats, etc etc...

We had not really thought it through too much about what it takes to leave the farm for 5 weeks. But its geting close, we are getting nervous, in a good way, and can hardly wait!

We had hoped to hook up with an Outfitter for an extended back country hiking and camping trip into the interior of the Copper Canyon....but its too expensive. Like $900/per person. So instead, we are busy researching, plannning, reading all we can about the cool off the beaten path spots and small interior Tarahumara Indian villages in the Canyon and we are just gonna wing it...

We will be spending 7-9 days on that whole trip...the COpper Canyon the train ride etc...should be spectacular! I will post soem links for those of you interested in seeing and learning more!
