South of the border

A friend & climbing partner recently returned from a mountaineering trip to Mexico where he climbed 18,700' Pico de Orizaba. At the base of the peak in the town of Tlachichuca he stayed with, ate at, and employed the transport services of "Senor Reyes" who makes his livelyhood shuttleing climbers up to the hut at 13,900' from which they can base their climbing efforts. Senor Reyes uses a small fleet of old Dodges for the long slow drive up the mountain. Good to see old iron at work, thought you'd enjoy. I've got a few more closer shots that I could post one-at-a-time here if ya'll are intersted. Bruce
