Duned over to Mexico

[Vader]

Last weekend duned out at Buttercup down to the US - Mexico border.  Rode my ATC and LTR but only have a few boring pics of the wall.  Sand was killer though.

Looks like a good place to ride. Are there any locals out there tearing it up ?

That looks like fun but I would pry get lost and run out of gas too.

Ya before the fence you had to be careful to not ride into Mexico but was a nice ride over to a little settlement called "Algoones" park on the US side an walk into town.

This area is called Buttercup and isn't too big now that its fenced in on the south and hits the freeway north so getting lost isn't a problem.  Didn't see any locals on the south side of the fence out there.  If you hang too long around the fence the border patrol will visit you.  Had some excitement Sunday am when a nice sand rail flipped over (first wreck of the season) and the border patrol, BLM, first aid and others came to the rescue.  Only 1 person went to the ER.

It was a lot of fun when you could ride into algodones... Then you had to walk across.

Last I heard that you can no longer go thru that route, but I don't know for sure.

 Thats not what I meant. I was not sure if there were riding areas in Mexico that were used for recreation. Not all of them are poor bad boys.

Before that fence was there, my buddies and I about a group of 5 rode south until we ran into a crop field. After we made it back to camp, US Customs showed up within 20 min and explained to us that we'd ridin about 1.5mi into MX lol. Needles to say they gave us a hard time and contemplated in pounding our bikes, but we played dumb and all was well.

We've  also been to Butter Cup on Halloween.....place get insanely packed and very fun...especially Comp Hill. Then you can ride over to Gordon's Well for the drag strip and watch 5 Rails drag at once....VERY FUN!!!

Sometimes when riding along the fence, I see riders on the other side. Once I seen a group of 10, I assumed they were Mexican.

I agree with Dave, this is something I've  been wanting to do for a while. Just gotta be careful because of the drug cartels coming in thru the dunes.  I saw a story on that on fox a while back.

Looks fun.  I duned Glamis once (Northern section) but never made it down to Buttercup.  Have anymore pics from the ride?
