A long drive to go fishing part one

[Hook]

Unfortunately there are no shots of fish in this TR, So if you are looking for " grip and grins " it's time to click out now.


My friend Jim from the other Belize TR decided to open a fishing operation in Belize. After multiple trips, he decided to drive his 4-runner down to have transportation and bring some heavy items. My plan was to fly out to Colorado where he lives, get a few ski days in to test the knee, then drive down with him.
Other events consumed my time so instead I flew out and met up with him in Corpus Cristi.

Day one Corpus to Tampico

Crossing the border at Matamoros

There were checkpoints everywhere, one soldier told us they were looking for that US marine that killed his roommate and buried her in his backyard.

This guy looks serious about enforcing that "no passing" sign.
