Not much to say about today. Seventy dollars worth of gas and fifty dollars worth of tolls... We took the Toll Road or Cuota all the way but it was hard to tell at times. The road was pretty narrow with no shoulder most of the way and the odd tope to surprise us. They put a series of gentle speed bumps in the road every once in a while followed by a large size tope that forces you to slow down to a crawl. At this point vendors rush out to try to sell something. They offer plastic cups of mixed fruit, fresh juice and Ziplock bags of something that looks like pancakes. Actually, cold pancakes with some sort of spread on them are a very popular treat here as they are very cheap and quite tasty. You always find vendors on the streets selling them. You usually have your choice of two or three different spreads like honey, jam or apple paste.
We spent the night at the Los Moches RV Park. It is not much to talk about. Spots so narrow that the passenger side of the motorhome is about four feet from our neighbors slide. The $22 per night park has good 20 Amp power but the water pressure is non-existent. We are using our water tank in the motorhome. The sewer dump is too far away for my hose to reach so we will just store the sewage until tomorrow night. No Problema! This park is used by many to store their rig while they take the train through the Copper Canyon. This, however is the wrong season for that trip as there could be snow at that altitude. April or May is the best time for that trip.
There is no cable in the park and it is not worth the effort to hook up the StarChoice for one night so we may just watch one of our movies, read or play Scrabble. One day we shall play Scrabble in Epanol.
