5C's Que Pasa

I am sending this from a ‘borrowed’ internet connection somewhere in the town of Quartzite, Arizona.  We spent yesterday shopping in Yuma and last night & tonight will be on the BLM lands @ Mile 112 on HWY 95. So to continue my last post, after turning in our Mexican paperwork, we fueled up in [...]

We slept in!!!!  We only left San Carlos at 8:25AM but the rest of our Tres Amigos friends stopped for fuel & Terri & Mike just kept visiting, so adios amigos!!  We passed the prison on the far side of Hermosillo about 10:00AM where we saw a ?? Transito Policia  take down a ‘surfer van’ [...]

We hit the road at 5:55AM and took an hour to do the dreaded road from Tres Amigos to Estrella, 60 minutes for a mere 10 miles or so!!  All the concern re the Mazatlan construction seemed a bit overdone.  The work is just north of Pemex #5432 on HWY 15 near the Ley store. [...]

It seems to me that many are leaving earlier this season.  Last week we had two unscheduled departures, one due to a family situation and another due to an earlier than expected arrival of a grand baby!! Three RV’s from Tres Amigos #2 left yesterday and today another leaves as well as us but via [...]

We noticed Pierre on the beach last season but only got to know him recently.  Pierre is a Canadian from Montreal and has been coming here for about 33 years, since his daughter was four.  His family spent 6 weeks here that first year.  In those days the jungle came right up to the beach. [...]

We are down to our last two days and so much has been happening.  Time is passing muy rapido and try as I might I can’t stop the clock!  We’ve had some incredible weather but today it is cloudy, good maybe we can get more packing done instead of just hanging around visiting!  The other [...]

Then we head north.  What will we miss…everything!  It has just started to get to normal temperatures and the warm ocean breeze feels wonderful.  Last night we slept with all the windows open!  One thing for certain is the fruit & veggies! Our friend Liz was telling us the other day that most restaurants in [...]

Along with the arrival of spring we have had a few surprises.  Last Friday the 18th, who should pull up next to us but friends Mike & Terri Church. They are the authors of many books, from Vacations in Europe to Alaskan Camping.  But they are very well known for Traveler’s Guide to Mexican Camping, [...]

Yesterday was super moon day.  Along with that came super high tide and super low tide.  Here on the Isla it was a free for all.  Lots of tidal pools and big waves. Nor could these two… Got very wet and then decided it was crab hunting time.  The crabs were big and easy to [...]

If you don’t have your own washing machine you can either rent Carl’s washing unit, use your kitchen sink or visit Alphonso! So we choose to gather up all our dirty laundry in the big yellow bag! Then you bundle the bag and the dogs in the car and go for a very very bumpy [...]
