San Carlos to Lo de Marcos

We stayed 4 days in San Carlos, a one day drive from Tucson.  On our last day there 12 of us drove up to the beach bar called the Soggy Peso which is located north of town.  The food was great.  Vic and I enjoyed a shrimp quesadilla (large servings so we shared one).  These are a few photos taken from where we were sitting under the palapa there.

We left San Carlos on Sunday November 23rd and stayed overnight at the PEMEX 4925 truck stop in the locked compound.  Just tip the guard 50pesos ($4CAD) to watch over you for the night.

The following day we drove to Mazatlan to stay at Las Jaibas RV Park.  We were in a site at the far back of the campground which was much easier to pull through with our 37' motorhome.  We were fortunate to have a pretty little pomegranate tree (maybe?) at our site plus we were able to pick fresh limes from the tree on the site next to us.

We stayed in Mazatlan for 2 nights. We ate out at Roy's for the Monday night special of $50 pesos per meal and $10 pesos for a margarita.  We had 2 margaritas each plus our meals for a total cost of $140 pesos ($11.52 CAD) for the two of us!

We left Mazatlan about 7:45 am and arrived at our final destination of Savage RV Park in Lo de Marcos at 3:15 pm (4:15 pm local time as we cross from Mountain Time into the Central Time Zone as we enter Lo de Marcos).  We moved to a larger site this year which gives us a roomier patio.  It faces the opposite direction from what we are used to the last few years. The move was necessary as the park has installed small bushes between the sites that would have been an inconvenience when accessing the storage compartments on the driver side.

This is a great little campground with 11 sites in it.  It is inexpensive at $5500 pesos per month (about $450 CAD).   There is a washing machine to do our laundry, a palapa where we enjoy our happy hour each day, free wifi, public washrooms with showers and 4 bungalows (hotel room with kitchen) that we can rent for visiting family members.

The weather is still a bit humid here at the moment -- highs of  30C and overnight low of 17C. 

We are settled in for the winter!
