What a relief for us when the long weekend was finally over. I had 2 nights where sleep was not possible until after 3pm. That's when the terror noise from town finally stopped. I was exhausted and had to find some sleep during day time. But this last weekend cemented our decision to leave town and head back to the US.
Tuesday it was time to go dumping. The closest opportunity for that is Totonaka RV Park just a few kms towards town.

After seeing the park which has been in operation from 1983, we are glad we never stayed there. The park is not only dated but downright neglected. The RV sites are so close to each other that you would hear every word spoken from your next door neighbour. And a bar located next door is producing Dunk-Dunk noise until 3am while the park "strictly enforces quiet hours". LOL.

The dump holes are located in the middle of the width of the graveled site. They are located in a concrete square sticking out at least 4 inches, and if you hit that block with a wheel (It's really narrow) you can kiss your tire goodbye.
On the left site of the campground we saw a number of big class A bunched so close together that I wonder how they will ever be able to get in or out, and of course, there are no modern pull-thrus.
Well, this was the first and the last visit to Totonaka here in San Carlos.
So yes, we are very sad that this whole idea of spending the winter in Mexico has not worked out, despite the undisputed fact of the local beauty around here.

Our camp site is still the most beautiful we have ever been in, and we had just begun to get to know our neighbours while we were invited to their camp fire with great conversations.
While we are still on-site we are enjoying the time between the weekends.

I know you do not like the USA so are you going back to Canada?
ReplyDeleteHello there, I have never said that I don't like America. After all I have visited, spending winters here since 2005. What I don't like is the current political leadership, and as you also know I have many millions of Americans with me on this. No, we are not going back home.
DeleteI've spent a lot of time in Mexico, rode the train from Nogales to Mexico City, camped on the beaches many times, drove down there etc. etc. I speak passing Spanish and admire many things about the culture, but they seem to have a different regard for some of the things that I find important. I have high standards for not trashing the natural world with pollution (including noise pollution), and I've found my intolerance for a lot of things in Mexico make me not want to go back. The people can be fantastic, but the disregard for nature and animals can be disturbing. Of course, this applies to people in a lot of places, not just Mexico, and I prefer to not visit such places. We have plenty of yahoos here in the States (including our current political regime, and yahoos is way too mild a description), but it seems easier and maybe safer to get into the wilds and away from it all here.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with you.
