Jerry's accident

The first batch of photos I took were very sad.  It was at the beginning of the ride right after we crossed the border into Mexico.  We had been on the road for a few hours and sudendly the rain showed up.  Also,  Jerry and Doug were behind, for some reason they were held at the toll booth.  About 30 minutes later, cars pulled us over and said that there was a motorcyclist down on the side of the highway.  I have to say one thing about the rain in the Mexican desert, it is not very friendly rain.....   all I can say for now.  Also, the highways are covered with oil!!!  tons of oil, Central America roads are all covered in oil, very dangerous.  Jerry is a truly amazing man.  I am very lucky I have had the honor to meet him.  He lives in Illinois and I believe that we will be able to ride again once he has recovered from his horrible neck injuries.   This was by far, one of my longest days of riding. 

Below I have photos and you can click on them to see the caption with details of each.
