Durango with Will Ayala

I have embarked on what I hope will be a 4 month, 17,000 mile motorcycle ride through the US and parts of Mexico and Canada to visit family and friends and to benefit Children International.  Please consider supporting me – learn more here Will's Charity Ride for Children International - PledgeIt

As I mentioned, Memo (Memo is the nickname for William in Mexico, like Will) Ayala offered to escort me  to Chihuahua.  He's a stud and rode 550 odd miles from Matzatlan to Chihuahua while I stopped in Hidalgo del Parral.
