People leaving, us cleaning up and then….leaving.

Klaus and Karin from Germany on the road and off to Celistino.  They leave their motor home in Arizona and fly back to Germany. 

Manny/Connie & Ramona will leave today (Friday Mar.28th) with George/Sharen and Blake and Laurie. Manny has a last chat with Dick and Eric.

Everyone gathers to say goodbye.

This is Ramona ….she is one special little gal!

And then there is Bosco, Eddy’s dog making himself right at home in Connie and Manny’s rig.  

Blake is ready to roll and his airstream trailer is hooked up.  Blake has had a nasty winter with his thyroid and is just starting to feel better.

While everyone was getting ready to hit the road Eric and I were washing.  Him outside and me inside.

Here comes Manny with Connie ready to hook up the truck.  Safe travels all..George is already out of the park.

That evening we had a lovely sunset.

Roger and Myrna from Regina, Saskatchewan.  Myrna is a second cousin to Kathy (a lady I worked with for 20 years) in Terrace.  How small is this world!

Myrna and the blogger.

Along with a Harley there is a Quad that rides in the back of their toy hauler.  This is their first year in Las Jaibas and they plan to come back. 

I just had to take a picture of the reservations for next year.  See #81…that’s our friend Betty’s husband “Boomer!” not Bumer….gee whiz Felipe (park owner) really can’t spell.  Funny!

It is now Monday, April 1st and we are ready to leave.  There is lonely us ready to hook up and hit the road.  Rocky and Nancy are leaving today and they are hooked up right behind us. 

Rocky and Nancy from Colorado.  They were good neighbors and we hope to see them in the fall. 

Bye bye Rocky and Nancy.

Looking forward the next rig is Roger and Myrna.  Only a few left when we leave. 

I popped over to Dick and Val’s to say bye.  They won’t leave till later in April. 

The office.  Felipe must be hiding in there somewhere.

That’s Betty from Vancouver Island’s  rig with Eddy from Fort St. John right behind her.  They leave tomorrow. 

Heading onto the Cuota (toll road) to Culiacan.

Heading north.

The first toll booth.

What shall we have to pay???

$260.oo peso’s or just over $20 Canadian.  

And then another one….300 peso’s or $24.

Beautiful fields of corn.

And tomatoes.

And….another toll booth.

This one is at the beginning of the new Cuota through Culiacan where we were diverted to a lane on the south bound side because the pilings under the new bridge bridge had sunk and the bridge was bent in the middle.  I missed the picture of it.

A new overpass with no approaches yet.

And….another toll booth at the other end of this short stretch.

Lots of confusion at the end of it where we had to be flagged through.  Another shemozzle. 

Out and heading toward the interesting hills. 

Guess what….another toll booth.  

Only 97 pesos for this one.

Again….you’ve got to be kidding.

This one a mere 40 pesos.

Always paving somewhere.  It all fails and is always being redone.   What a system.

Coming into Los Mochis and the Costena plant has huge trucks of tomatoes ready to be processed.  Yum!

That is a lot of tomatoes. 

That’s beautiful black composted top soil.

We can’t stay at our usual Pemex (4925) just south of Los Mochis so La Piliraca just before the crossroads will have to do.  We’ve stayed here before and it is really dusty but…what can you do.

The Zar hotel just before the “pension” or free parking lot.

Heading off the pavement to the gravel lot.

 

It is hot, hot, hot and the generator is running and so is the A/C.
