This is a phenominal testament to resiliance in adventure travel. Your willingness to return after each incedent shows something most people miss about risk, that isolated events dont actually compound into systemic danger. I've had similar expereinces where one bad trip made me reconsider entire regions, but you're right that the Sierra Norte itself remains incredible despite these random moments.
Being robbed at gun point is very disconcerting. I've heard that the road to Monte Alban is dangerous, but it sounds like you were off the road on a trail?
You've made me hesitant to hike in Mexico. I really don't like losing my stuff.
What amazing stories, that first one especially. I had to scroll back up and reassure myself it was written by you. Had me on the edge of my seat. Crazy experiences. And still here you are!
What a story Chris! Wow. Incredible calm and tenacity. Much respect.
Ha! Glad it comes off that I was calm!! Thanks Matt.

I truly believe that any one of those incidents could have hapoened anywhere. What's important was the recoveries.

Such perseverance you have.
Yes , it was the trail to Monte Alban, 1/2 mile outside the riins.
