Re: Chihuahua Express 2015

This looks like something I'd love to do. Maybe someday i'll be able to afford it.

Cool pictures. What's the story with the circle of helmets?

That is the blessing of the helmets at the Ceremonial Start.   

In the past, the local Indians would go helmet by helmet and use a big leaf to throw throw muddy water on your helmet.

This year they just had a big cup of some kind of smoking vegetation and went helmet by helmet.   Good thing I didn't have a random at work this week. 

Its really pretty cool and usually there is a big crowd but it was raining goats and chickens just before the Ceremonial Start this year.

Re: Chihuahua Express 2015

Holy crap.  What an awesome event.  I live in San Antonio and had no idea this existed.  Here in the Alamo City I just assumed Chihuahua Express meant driving I-10 to La Canterra with the dog on your lap.
