Re: Mexico's Highway Of Death
We've traveled between Mazatlan and Tucson a 1/2 dozen times from March to June this year in both our car and Class A RV. Pretty much the same as it has been for years. The exceptions are more fuel stops available & Sonoran state tolls mostly closed. 15D is in pretty good shape Heading back to our place on Isla de la Piedra in October1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ixtapa Trailer Park
Tres Amigos parks on Isla de la Piedra outside of Mazatlan were booked full for the season. Of course Canadians couldn't get here (with a couple of exceptions). Many Americans also chose not to come. Parks ended up with maybe 20% capacity in both parks. Upside is all that wanted had beachfront sites. Island life was pretty quiet until Semana Santa. Warmer weather is bringing out many more nationals on the weekends tent camping the beach. The parks have survived & hope for next fall is high. Life is good here on the Playa574Views0likes0CommentsNogales Mariposa crossing
Three RVs crossed Sunday on our way to Isla de la Piedra. Was as simple and straight forward as years past. Did our paperwork thing at Km21 with no wait. Spent a night in San Carlos, a night in Los Mochis truck stop, on in to the Isla Tuesday. Life is good1.8KViews0likes3CommentsRe: cerr?itos fire
From a RV tech that was there during the fire and then repaired rigs pulled out without disconnecting utilities, the cause was an unattended BBQ that overheated. I believe (suprize!) alcohol was involved. Many more than 3-4 rigs were damaged or destroyed. Makes me look at my palapa beside my rig on the Isla a little differently179Views0likes0CommentsTurning in my TIP late
Other than losing my "deposit" any issues that I should be aware of when returning my TIP after 180 days? On edit - FMM is not a problem. Will cross at Nogales so KM-21 will be where the TIP gets returned. Don't know how late at this time. I'm good until mid-may, so maybe June or ???who knows1.1KViews0likes3Comments
