Adios Mexico
We had been warned about police road blocks around Mazatlán, but what do you do. We were stopped and told by a very young good looking cop that we were doing over the speed limit. Of course we weren’t – he had no radar. As he stood there in his very well pressed uniform, …
Last days in La Penita, Mexico
At the moment we are back in the cold rainy weather of Bryce Canyon, Utah. We are staying in the rv park so I am taking advantage of the power and wifi to post some photos. Back to La Penita, Mexico. I could watch these Mexican brown pelicans fishing all day. It appears I have …

Mariposa Monarch Reserve Mexico
To get there it was a long drive up a winding road with the caravan, we camped over night and then took a horse ride further up the hill to the oyamel fir trees where the butterflies migrate to each year. The horse trail was steeper than it looks in the photos. The route the …
