We left Mazatlan about 8 am Saturday November 24th. It was a good day to travel as the roads were relatively empty of traffic. We took a different route than normal as our friends had experienced poor road conditions on the San Blas route which resulted in them arriving 3 hours later than usual with a little damage to their motorhome.
The route we took was longer and toll road most of the way. Hwy 15D to Hwy 68D to Hwy 200. It cost us an additional $1402 pesos but the road conditions were good and we arrived at our destination by 3:30 pm after stops for fuel, lunch and propane.
Our journey from Thornhill to Lo de Marcos was 3,643 miles.
The cost of tolls on the Mexican Cuota was $3,324 pesos ($254 CAD).
Our camping fees from October 31st to November 24th for the trip south were $406.72 USD.
The gas price as we traveled through the US ranged from $2.91/gal to $3.45/gal. Here in Mexico the gas is $10.72 pesos/litre (82 cents CAD). Our total fuel bill to reach here was $1565.45 CAD.
We are now settled into Savage RV Park in Lo de Marcos. There are double the number of motorhomes here this winter and oddly, all the diesel motorhomes are parked on one side of the park and the gas motorhomes on the other!! But we're all Canadians representing BC, Alberta and Ontario.

The ocean is also warm 85F (29C) so you don't really cool off but it is relaxing to float in the water. No waves for boogie boarding as yet.
