For the next two nights this was very successful. I was even able to sleep without the mittens and leggings, which are bulky. I'm sleeping cozy every night. We arrived in Creel about noon and as we turned down a rough cobblestone road, the sound of a train whistle alerted George and he darted for the tracks. A train with three engines, pulling twenty five flatbed cars loaded with motor homes, heaved up the grade into the station.
Creel is a tourist town hosting visitors from around the world.
Copper Canyon is ten times larger and times deeper than the Grand Canyon. Copper Canyon is also the home of the Tarahumara Indians. A mission was started in Creel 23 years ago to help the Tarahumaras whose simple lifestyle was still intact, but who were dying from disease and impure water. Initially, a new water system and medical clinic were built. The town now has 3500 inhabitants.
