My friend Brian is heading down to Mexico in January. On other trips he
has gone to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize in his Westy. This time he is
looking for others who are interested in Caravaning on a rain forest
trip. Down below are the trip details from him. People who are planning
to be at the 20th Buses By The Bridge may be able to meet up with him
there and proceed. Please ask him about that if it works for you.
Please contact HIM not me if you wish to take part or desire more info.
I am not involved other than helping him spread the word.
