Mexican Cannonball Run

Texan in Mexico · 11-08-2009, 09:02 AM

Good morning All!

I had mentioned I was going to participate in this to a couple of friends and thought I would do a brief running commentary along the way and maybe some photos.

There were many, many delays of weeks for this event but we were finally able to get started this morning.

There are several teams and we left the Embassy Suites in Laredo, Texas in 1 hour intervals. We left at 615 am.

Kind of a rainy morning and as I stood in the Temporary Car Importation office on the Mexican side I looked across the Rio Grande and saw that spectacular Stars & Stripes which brought mixed feelings.

An incredible sense of pride to be an American and a moment of reflection as it is flying at halfmast...

We are on the Interstate 85 to Monterrey and will try and take some nice shots along the way!

Take care and a very nice Sunday morning to all!
