It is conceivable to take the Great Western Trail, to the Idaho Centennial Trail, to the Pacific Northwest Trail, then cross into Canada and ride the Kettle Valley Railway/Trans Canada Trail to Vancouver.  As yanks we don't ride these routes, because there is no guide book.  


Heir alpenzorro has posted here about a similar journey.

If you find yourself shivering from the cold.
Take off your shoes and socks.

Don't listen to me, or read the links I found. NO. Do your own research.  Better yet, speak to a medical person.
Do know what hypothermia is. Do have a plan.

I had one in my bag for 2 years before I needed it.  When I needed it,  I needed it!

In my experience, it is best to go with a very lightweight shoe that both gets wet really quick...but also dries out very quickly. I've used 'waterproof' shoes/covers/socks/etc. and every time my feet still eventually get wet. They all work to a point, but the more 'waterproof', the longer they take to dry out. My two cents? Let the feet get wet. The lighter the shoes, the quicker they'll dry.

yea what he said

For cold rainy days, medium cushion smartwool socks and shoes that will dry quickly.  
90% of the water on your feet came of the front wheel, or rolled down your pant leg into your shoe.
The smallest size gaiter will fit up inside your pant leg, and over the lip of your shoe.  Once you stop to think about it.  Your rain pants catch far more rain drops than your shoe does. All those drops roll down your pant leg, and drip inside your shoe. A gaiter gets them to drip onto the ground.  

A front fender with a home made extension does a lot to keep water of your feet.  As in above post.  cut a section from a plastic water bottle.  Poke 2 holes in it and your fender with a knife.  Use a zip tie to fix it to your fender.

Your shoe collects very few rain drops.  Eliminate the water from the front wheel.  Disperse the water from your pants off onto the ground.  Now your feet are 90% less wet

Crumple newspaper into a ball and stuff it into a wet shoe.  It soaks up some of the water and helps the shoes to dry faster.  You might be able to hold the newspaper filled shoe under a hand dryer to speed drying.  Don't let the shoe get to hot and melt the glue that holds your shoe together.  Keep your hand on the shoe.  The glue can withstand as much heat as your hand can.

The Indians are big into asking for permission.
Just ask an Indian for permission to camp or use their road.
 
Its easy, sometimes getting permission includes a plate full of cookies and a cup of coffee.

If they say, ¨NO¨, or direct you to a public camp ground,   listen to them. 

(1) no
(2) yes
(3) The Indian Nations are just that, a Nation.  Similar to the German Nation, or the Dutch Nation.
(4) Ask for permission, they are nice people.

check if the tunnels are open, etc.

Please note
tyvek is not water proof.  
I used a piece of tyvek for a ground cloth under my tent for a few years.  When the rains came, I mean the real rains, I learned the hard way.  Water seeps through tyvek when the ground is saturated, and up into the tent.  last year I used a very thin sheet of plastic as a ground cloth.  It did not seep when the rains came.  This year I am using a plastic laundry bag with a hole cut, so It has a second use as a poncho.
Also consider,
The chemicals tyvek is coated wiht were never meant to come into prolonged contact  with the skin.  

Do you know anything about the Tren Chepe¿?
Is there a Clase Económica train?
It is almost time to go, and I still don't have a good plan.  
Anyway, what do you think about catching a train from Los Mochis to Divisadero or Creel.  Then riding around and down to Hermosillo.
I delayed because of weather a few times. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?epac  Always seems to be an orange or red circle on the chart.
Maybe after the baja race I will head out.
I have a Guia Rogi mapa de Mexico.  They have very little detail of the local area.  Any idea if maps of Parque Nacional Cascada de Basaseachi
or Copper Canyon are sold in Los Mochis.  The Library in San Diego has a 1995 book I can read.  In other words, details are difficult to gather from a distance.

Mr Efuentes, the best question to ask you might be
Will you name 3 places a person should surely visit?  
Should I ask if there are 1 or 2 places to avoid?

I found this link on your web site

put your jacket on

My camera is on the ... (zoom is broken).  So I'm waiting for the Sony rx100 to be on sale.  The new version is out so maybe Thanksgiving.  Taking a photo of a map works well if your zoom feature works.  
The more I google this place the better it sounds.
I have checked a lot of guide books out of the library in the past.

Good job finding that sir!
I found
Parque Nacional Cascada de Basaseachi

Creel

good story

.especially if you grow out your hair and beard and get yourself all dirty.   

I got a hair cut just before reading this one. hmmmm   I like to say, a sober person could have a nice time in Mexico.
Any idea if a store in El Paso is selling maps of the canyon area¿?  I'm having trouble finding something better than a state map in San Diego, or Tijuana.  I like National Geographic maps,  but, I cant find one for that area. 

Sir
Thank You.
I plan to travel alone, as usual. 
I found the Santa Theresa crossing on google maps. Got any more ideas on getting to Chihuahua.  At the moment, my plan is to take Amtrak to El Paso.  Then it looks like a road ride of 250 or more miles to Chihuahua.  Perhaps a train ride up to Creel?  MAYBE.  Might be a good adventure.

So far I know 2 things about it.  There is a train from Chihuahua to Los Mochis.  People claim fear and love of Copper Canyon with emotion in their voice.  Oh, and a guy on a single speed with a 60 pound dog in his trailer told me to go in through El Paso.

has any one been to copper canyon Mexico?  i was thinking of going there. I'm having trouble gathering some info on the subject.

A good place to start is, googling "------- county transit."
Example: Clallam county transit, http://www.clallamtransit.com/

I want to stash my bike in Chelan Washington*. Then walk the Pacific Northwest Trail from Oroville.  A search for, "Okanogan county transit," and sure enough there is a bus from Brewster to Oroville. Hope I don't have to hitch the 26 miles from Chelan to Brewster. 

*I bought a $40 bike at the at Value Village for trail head parking.
