On this day, we embarked on a journey from Cuauhtemoc to Fort Stockton.
We departed from the hotel at 8:30.
The 4.5-hour trek to the border primarily entailed traversing desert-like terrain. We passed through the city of Chihuahua, which is the capital of the state bearing the same name. We opted to cross at Ojinaga/Presidio. We utilized the cuota, a paid road.
Upon arrival at Ojinaga, we proceeded directly to customs to facilitate the export of our motorcycles from Mexico, thereby releasing the $400 deposit paid for the Temporary Import Permit (TIP).
We bid each other farewell and parted ways as a group, proceeding to complete immigration formalities. During this process, we encountered a young military officer who shared our passion for travel. We exchanged numbers and gifted him several of our stickers, which he greatly appreciated.
Following this, we stopped for lunch at Planet Marfa in Marfa, a delightful establishment. The ambiance was perfect for a 'zen' lunch.
We decided to spend the night in Fort Stockton, with a planned stop in Alpine for coffee. We arrived at our hotel just before dusk and had take out from McDonald's for dinner.
