Viva Mexico -- We're Here

We had a plan to meet along the side of the road at 11:00am this morning. Once all arrived, we left for Mexico. All in all, it went pretty well. Here's the front of the line...... others are around the curve in the road. We left with 20 people in 11 rigs...... 8 motorhomes, 2 fifth wheels, and one Airstream teardrop trailer.

We got through the border crossing fairly quickly. Patsy and I were waved through, but two of the RV's were stopped for inspections, but they were quick. The trip was somewhat uneventflul with nice desert scenery. We were some kind of sight with 11 rigs spread out. Here's a shot from the front windshield looking at the back of Mike and Linda's Itasca (approaching the border crossing), and out the back window looking at Karl and Sandy's fifth wheel with others following, and a picture of most of us lined up just inside Mexico waiting for the rest to pass through the checkpoint. UPDATE: I got some pictures today from the nice lady traveling behind us, Sandy Park, show our rig. I have now included it. Here are some pictures passing through Puerto Penasco, and entering the RV park.


The campgound is nice. We are all parked in the same section, some on one row and the remainder on the other with our backs to each other. The park is right on the beach, and it is well kept. It has free WIFI, but it does not function really well. At times, loading pictures (a function that takes a while) seems to time out before it is completed resulting in no picture and a do-over. At least, we have access to email and the internet. Here's a picture of the beach area and Patsy walking toward the beach. It was a little cool and windy today!!
This evening, most of the group went to the local restaurant for "happy hour", and dinner. The following are pictures in the bar (with a shot of the bar decoration), and later in the dining room.

Tomorrow, we plan to explore the town.
