I had trouble getting back in to do another post, but finally I was able to figure it out and here I am.
We are in our park of choice here in Lo de Marcos, Mexico. We arrived Thursday afternoon after a good drive, but a little harrowing, having driven up to Tepic and down to Las Varas, instead of going through San Blas, which we did last year.
When we reached Tepic, we stopped on the other side and undid the tow car. I drove it all the way down to Lo de Marcos, following the motorhome, and the other couple in their truck/camper following me.
Hubby didn't have any problems driving down that long hill. He basically drove in second gear to save wear and tear on the brakes. My tow car is a little Kia Spectra, 5 spd manual and this drive was the farthest I have ever driven it. We were given this car by our son, who didn't need two cars, because he is living full time in a motorhome and they only needed one vehicle; of course, how can he tow two cars? I never had it licensed until the day before we left on our trip so I didn't have a chance to get used to shifting the gears, but I learned pretty quickly on that free for all road from Tepic to Lo de Marcus. If you are wondering if I have ever driven a standard vehicle the answer is yes and more like 35 years ago. I guess it's like riding a bike; you never forget.
So my friends, if you are reading this, and want to know if the San Blas road is open yet, the answer is we don't know.
We are the first visitors in this park. Savage RV park is open and waiting for your visit. The internet is up and running, thanks to Alfredo and I. He called on me to help get it set up and between us and the friendly helper on the other end of the phone line, we got it going. Phew, I'm glad we did because I only have a three hour battery in this puppy and the electrical connection was only two pronged at the office.
Now I'm going to try to download some more photos.

| How's this for a Harley? Quite a story behind this modified rig but all I can say is that it is really different and it actually works. Couple from South Carolina own it and they were parked at the VFW in Yuma. Well, it looks as if this is the only picture you will get. Seems my image uploader on this blog site does not want to upload more than one picture at a time. It was another hot day today and we went over to the beach today to enjoy the waves. They were not too big but they were dirty. The beach had been stripped of its sand and it looked as if the waves were bringing the sand back again. The waves are very noisy right now and it is quite cool now. It is 11:50 pm as I write and I've closed all the windows and I'm going to bed. Adios amigos, Holoidays on holiday |
