It is a do not miss town to see. You can get a bus from the bus station in Matehuala and it will be a little cooler up there. It's a beautiful mining town that is only accessible by an almost 2 mile long tunnel. A definite must see.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-57826410031220653782013-04-17T23:01:39.909-04:002013-04-17T23:01:39.909-04:00Yep, stopped by a brewery and Kevin got his sample...Yep, stopped by a brewery and Kevin got his sample but it wasn't Fat Tire, the New Belgium Brewing Company was closed today.<br /><br />Looking like the road will be open tomorrow morning.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-92043430693250468362013-04-17T22:47:35.521-04:002013-04-17T22:47:35.521-04:00We can see why it is rated so high.

Renate, Terri, Mike and I left SMA yesterday and stayed in Matehuala. Renate and I are staying another night here - but Terri and Mike left this morning to connect with "birding" friends, Blevin and Janell, in Texas. It's hot here and Renate and I have the whole Las Palmas RV Park to ourselves! We'll be crossing into the US on Saturday or Sunday at the Solidarity Bridge outside of Nuevo Laredo. Hope the weather clears for you - enjoy.<br />mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-18011457305494517012013-04-17T12:54:07.928-04:002013-04-17T12:54:07.928-04:00Good plan, hang out and sample beer, Thats my kind...Good plan, hang out and sample beer, Thats my kinda being stranded.<br />I really enjoy Fat Tire.<br />The roads will be better someday!our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-48203772443494240642013-04-17T11:48:32.877-04:002013-04-17T11:48:32.877-04:00Would love to try a FAT Tire!

I think maybe the breweries have something to do with that. It is not unusual at all to see heavy snow in that area at this time of year.

I agree with John - Wyoming is fast about getting the roads cleared. They do a great job. At least on the interstate.
