Modern Day Mexican Cattle "Drive" from El Topo to the Desert Dec 07

Mark & David help Ricardo Jr., Beto and Jaimie to move approximately 25 head of cattle from Rancho El Topo, Baja, Mexico, down to the Baja desert for the winter. It was a cold, long day that certainly wasn't fun, but it was an adventure! Despite rain, snow, and strong winds they headed to their destination 100 miles away fighting very muddy conditions and having to haul downed trees out of the road. Nonetheless, 9 hours later they made it. It took Mark a total of 14.5 hours from leaving El Topo and returning back at 1:30am. Wayne & I had a fun drive in the mud to El Topo in time to see them rounding up the cows and loading them into the trailers. Alejandro, Alejandra, and friends also came down to brave the very cold and wet temperatures.
