About 50 miles into Mexico and starting to get into the rhythm of riding. I was very nervous before I was heading into the border, but my paranoia slowly drifted away and I began enjoying the ride. I'm on my way to Creel and the Copper Canyon.

I cross into the Mexico border near Big Bend National Park in Texas. This was my first border crossing that dealt with paper work (Canada was easy) and it was a bit of a hassle. Next video will elaborate more.
