Rio Tepango

OK we are runnin late to get the Rio Oro and it is raining and we need to piss. PLG (pincholocogringo) say there is a river so we stop past the bridge and there is a water fall below it, a good 15 foot drop. Mexican guy is standin on the bridge and I go up to talk to him. I ask if this river has any more drops on it and he says yes. I ask him if there are more bridge upstream again he says yes, I ask him about bridges downstreams again he says yes. My primo is runnin shuttle for us so we ask the guy if he want to show us. He takes up to about five different water fall on this river. We end up decidin we will do about a three klick run. We head back up to the put in but tell the guy we want to eat first so he says go past the put in to the next town. well the next town is Santiago Tuxla a good size town and all the way up we just keep passing more rapids. In the very centro of Santiago we are eating at a nice resturant lookin at a 8 foot drop. Hell there we are with the river right there and a bathroom in the grocery store to change in. It add another two klicks to the trip, but hey what the hell. As we start down the river the crowd starts to gather. now I am as use to crowd with camers as much the next guy, hell I run the sinks in the summer times West Prong through Gatlinburg and Baby fall the Mexicans out did themselves. People are run from house to house and store to store gettin people to come see a couple of guys kill themselves. Older women are crossin themselves and we can hear cry.. of no, no murto, porfa porfa much peligro alto porfa. One guy in a suit clumb down a hellva bank to tell us of the casades and the deadly rapids and one was a nasty screemin right turn thru as nasty of an undercut wall as any I've seen on the pleatua. The drop were all clean as hell, warm water but for the wrong reason. I think we answered a lot of prayers by not dyin. For a class four boater with a class two wife this river is perfect, thye would carry 10 drop or so and all are easy portages except the 35 footer and if they just kicked their boat off the drop and walking river righ it is no problem. We ended up gettin the name of phone number of the guy who took to all the bridges, river acess points and water falls I will put his name and number up in another post. Never mind I found his name and number Evaristo Lara 294 111 2029. We pick the guy up at a bus stop for ten buck he spends 6 hours with us and at the end of the day we take him back to the same bus stop. Life in Mexico is kinda layed back.
