06-Feb-2005 -- ) Aprovechamos el cumpleaños 40 de mi buen amigo Diego en Aguascalientes, y como es costumbre verificamos la posibilidad de confluencias, a unos 40km al noreste de la ciudad se encuentra ésta. Decidimos hacer la busqueda al regreso (domingo) pues el sábado fue de ffffies-ta.

Decidimos tomar la ruta por Villa Juarez (carretera 25) y bajar por la #6 rumbo a Palo Alto, allí prácticamente sobre la carretera (300m) se encuentra en un caserío llamado La Luz.

Una frágil cerca nos detuvo a escasos 20.6m (foto 22n102wexplorerboss2) tan cerca pero tan lejos, respetando la propiedad pues el propietario no estaba, sólo los vecinos a la expectativa ademas la jefa observaba.

La confluencia fue exitosa pero breve porque el regreso a casa es largo (4hrs) y el “alto mando” tenia otros planes.

Un alto para comer y caminar en la historica Zacatecas (foto zac052) es imperdonable. La confluencia puede alcanzarse desde Zacatecas o Aguascalientes pues yace entre las 2 ciudades.

06-Feb-2005 -- ) On the 40th birthday of my good friend Diego we visited him at Aguascalientes, as the tradition goes we checked for near-by confluences and there it was about 40km northeast of that city. We decided to attempt it on Sunday.

We decided the Villa Juarez route (#25) but is not the only one then to Palo Alto (#6) and right next to the road (300m) in a ranch named La Luz.

A fragile fence held us at 20.6m away (see 22n102wexplorerboss2), but respect to private property is a must especially when the owner was not around just hi/her expectant neighbors and the boss was watching.

The visit was successful but short, for the way back home is long (4hrs) and “high command” had other plans.

A stop for lunch and a walk at historic Zacatecas (foto zac052) is a must. The confluence can be reached from both cities Zacatecas or Aguascalientes for it lies between the two.
