5C's Que Pasa

Quite frankly folks…we almost never got here.  Yesterday, Friday the 29th Colin decided to pull the slides in and lift the jacks so he could build some air to inflate our over weighted tires by 3-5 pounds each.  Very very interesting but the front left jack would not go up and then would not go [...]

We spent Wednesday the 27th doing nothing but relaxing in the middle of the desert.  Colin played with his new BBQ. He was delighted.  I  mostly slept. Enjoyed a lovely sunset followed by a great dinner and some good wine. Thursday we drove to about 40Kms north of  Nogales and are staying at the DeAnza [...]

Folks….I add these comments to my blog for your information.  I am not trying to influence you one way or the other but rather hope to give you some facts I have gathered from different areas.  Colin and I are headed to Mazatlan no matter what but at the same time we can’t be responsible [...]

We have a friend who just stays in bed when they leave very early in the morning.  He drives and she just stays in bed with the dog and the cat!  Not always but when it is very early AM.  Sounds like a great plan to me but we seem to have too much stuff! [...]

Regarding the caved in piece of road north of Mazatlan, here is a bit more information I gleamed from another post… …Here’s a report from another forum: I hit it doing about 80 on Friday. Thought for sure I was going to bust a spring on my loaded van. Can’t remember exactly where its at, [...]

We were up early in Boise Monday morning, but Wilsons RV could not guarantee to even look at our rig.  It’s hunting season and they are busy fixing up the hunters.  (By the way I don’t enjoy seeing the vehicles drive past draped with a with carcass, antlers, etc.)  Someone in Twin Falls said they [...]

We crossed into the US about 3:15PM Saturday with no problems, just the usual human and dog food check.  They never even asked where we were going or for how long which surprised us.  We spent that night at the Walmart in Moses Lake.  It was 56F, the warmest first night we have ever had. [...]

..is pulling us, enticing us to leave so off we go.  We moved into the RV on Friday afternoon, winterized the house and hit the road Saturday, the 23rd, a full day early. Well half a day anyway (left about noonish). Wonderful. We didn’t even care that it started raining in our two last hours [...]

Our friend Otto sent this in…he got it from another friend. “Just to let you know that the roads are in generally good shape except for a few spots.  The one I have to warn you guys about is just north of Mazatlan.  At about Km marker 50 t0 40 there is a deep dip [...]

The quake, which registered at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers), was centered between southern Baja California and the Mexican state of Sinaloa, about 65 miles from the city of Los Mochis in Sinaloa, the USGS said.
