The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.
 September 1990. View of Ceracahui from the top of a nearby hill Sept 1990. Enroute, we decided to interrupt our trip to Creel with a two-day stay in the small pueblo of Ceracahui. We left the train at the Bahuichivo train station with hotel-owner Doug and bounced for over an hour to get to his hotel, the Paraiso del Oso (Paradise of the Bear). From his hotel, we were able to visit the rim of the Copper Canyon, hike all over the country side, and visit a Tarahumara Indian cave. The Tarahumara are an indigenous people who have a large presence in the Copper Canyon area. They are noted for their running skills and the competition among the men of kicking a small ball along the mountain trails. We saw evidence of this as we hiked the area with Doug and his partner. We had made the right choice and taking a chance did pay off for us this time.  September 1990. Tarahumara cave. Inhabitants may have died from Cholera. The white crosses along the back wall represent a person. Lori is examining bones found in the cave.
