Jimmy's right, next time - ONLY ON A MOTORCYCLE! Great story, Overlanding at it's best. Our lastest chicken bus road was from Batopilas to Creel in the SportsMobile.

And funny enough, a chicken Ford Escort. It had geese in it instead of chickens. Believe me when I say you have not lived until one of them honks in your ear when you are passing a semi on a windy day. You no longer worry about the mess they might make as you are praying you didn't/aren't going to make one yourself. ;) LOL I hate to say this, but I have ridden on one of those buses before.

Luckily for us, we never had to play the game. We found most drivers understand the concept of "we're all in this together" so they, and we, made the decision to pull over and let others by when necessary. It was a very rough ride at times, but so worth it to see what we saw, especially the smiling faces of the people we passed.

What a series of photos and what a fantastic story. This trip and your rig you guys built has to be one of the most high tech machines out there. I bet when you pull into a town, and people see you guys with all your digital gear, they must wonder what planet you came from! Your photo work and writings are one of the highlights of my weeks. Keep it up. I am sharing this with everyone I know... Hayden Wow…Chicken Bus Road would scare the “chicken s**t” out of me! What a series of photos and what a fantastic story.
