Thanks, Bill for a fascinating video of a unique experience. Looks like stuff right out of Butch and Sundance. It makes the flyfishing Jurasaic Lake and rivers look like luxury hotels. I would want to brush up on my Spanish before going. This took a lot of guts and ingenuity.

Bill, another of your very unique and interesting videos. Very nice. All they were missing is an inflatable boat and fly rods.

4 retired guys taking their time.


PS: just talking to a cycling friend who said one of the guys in the video, Pete Hoffman, is famous cyclist who after missing out of 1964 Olympics, bought the "Northern California Cycling Newsletter" in Sacramento area, built it up into the "Cycling" magazine and sold it.

So, if lifelong cyclists could only go 35miles a day on those rails, it must have been very tough cycling.
