We got an okay nights sleep last night with not much truck noise and not much dust. Bueno!
A light breakfast and on the road by 8:30 am. Quite a bit of road construction between Los Mochis and Navojoa but nothing unusual for Mexico. We are as used to Mexican roads as we are going to get and pretty much anything goes!
A little pile of iguanas where we made a pit stop at a toll booth.
Coming back into Sonora.
Navojoa…McPollo at McDonald’s….funny!
Downtown Navojoa…a pretty Mexican town.
Driving through Ciudad Obregon Eric spotted this sign with a night of tribute to AC DC. Must be old rockers in Mexico too!
Obregon.
That is the edge of the Maxipista and a farmer watching his cows and hopefully keeping them of the highway. Anything goes! He is between the highway and the railroad.
Coming into a toll booth….you know….where you pay and pay and pay.
And for this you get a road with….do you see a shoulder….no shoulder and you could easily put a wheel over the edge.
A school bus with “Jefferson County” on the side and …..
Playboy bunnies on the back. What’s up with that!
At every toll both there was a sweet Mexican senorita collecting for the Red Cross. This is one of them. We gave each one some peso’s and they gave us a sticker.
We arrived at the Playa de Cortez RV park in Miramar around 3pm and are now safely tucked in and this is how we got here…..
When you get just south of Guaymas there will be a choice to bypass Guaymas by going over an overpass and onto 15D….stay to the right on 15 and head to Guaymas and Empalme. You will pass along the right hand side of the overpass below it and head into Empalme. The road will be very narrow with no shoulder. You will pass over a long causeway …..
This is the causeway….
At the north end of the causeway (you are still south of Guaymas) you will see a road heading off to the right (east) and up the hill and it will say…..
that it goes to San Jose and the Aeropuerto….turn right here.
Continue on this road up around the mountain ….you are bypassing downtown Guaymas until you see a sign that says…..
Hermisillo and Aeropuerto. Turn left here and you are now heading west to the north end of Guaymas. Keep going until see a traffic light and turn left back towards Guaymas. You will pass through two traffic lights (at the second one you will see WalMart on your left and then you will see a sign on your right that says turn right for Miramar. Don’t turn until you get to the overpass. You will turn right at the bottom of the overpass and it is NOT marked. Don’t miss it or you will be in downtown Guaymas. You are now on the road to Miramar. Follow it until you see…..
the big gate and the sign for the Hotel Playa de Cortez. The RV park is on your left as you enter.
Nice place to stay and we like it here.
The hotel is very busy and it looks like there will be a couple of weddings tonight. There was a very beautiful bride in a gold dress but when I got my camera ….she was gone. Likely it will be very loud tonight but no problemo as we have our was earplugs.
We have the internet hooked up but it required the Yagi to get a decent signal even though we are parked right in front of the lobby.
Tomorrow we will relax.
