    Spent a few days last week on a ranch near Guerrero, Coahuila. Crossed Colombia coming and going. No problems at all on Highway 2. The only thing out of the ordinary was a military helicopter buzzing ranches in the area. They landed on a neighboring ranch and we visited with them for a bit. All was good.

      We spoke with the helicopter too when they landed to check one of my hunters out. He was in an ordinary truck. They saw me in an obvious hunting truck and kept going. Marines were on patrol in the neighborhood along with the helicopter. All polite . The helicopter circled our camp and after my wife gave them the evil eye they headed for safer environments.

          Within the last 2 years we paid about $45/hr for motorgrader work and about $85/hr for dozer work. Dozer was a D7.

                            Went to look at two ranches or pastures about 10 miles the other side of blank. It was a beautiful morning and deer were scrambling everywhere I drove. The pastures seemed huge and the leasing terms were very reasonable. The bad...there is a nearby bridge washed out, traffic diverted...lots of cuts in fences throughout the ranch with a ton of vehicle tracks everywhere. I drove up to two boyeez armed with cut off AKs in the center of the ranch. We saw each other at the same time so I decided the opportunity to turn around had passed. I decided to have a conversation with them. They were very polite. They were slightly amused at the gringo asking so many questions. I never felt threatened but I wonder if this is the new normal for me

                              Maybe the bridge will be repaired soon meantime I will keep looking,I would like to find a pasture with zero traffic rolling through low fence. Low profile house not picky just not visible prefered.
