In 2009 from June to August, Skip Hunt traveled in Mexico on a motorcycle and blogged it all from the road.
(Excerpt from the book)
"I was thinking of how just recently I'd felt so peaceful out in the desert. How connected I felt to the earth and the ALL. And, how I felt I was at least momentarily able to experience being without my "self" and completely aware.
Now, I was listening to the chaos of the city.... to the traffic cop's whistle blasts. Hurrying past the blocks with all the junkies… car horns blasting… street vendors yelling out advertisements for their wares.
I wondered if I could ever feel the same inner peace in the harsh humanity of the city that I'd felt while alone in a serene desert. So, I stopped on the street and concentrated on the memory of the desert.
Suddenly, the noise became nothing more than a different kind of texture, but the same feeling that I had under the mountain. The "self" again melted away and there was just life. It lasted for a while but faded as I started down the busy boulevard again. Only now I was no longer tense, in a hurry, or afraid. I was just another collection of atoms and cells moving through the larger collection."

The journey began in the sacred desert region known as Huiricuta, to major cities, strange villages that induced strange deja-vu, mountains, jungle, peyote/mushroom rituals, coastline, and amazing winding roads all throughout the Sierra Madres.
