My point was that some of the places we like to stop are not suitable for some longer rigs, and that given a choice between taking someone with a 24 ft rig as opposed to a 40 ft rig we would lean towards the smaller rig. Also, although a fairly minor point, we feel that some of these larger rigs are a little ostentatious for Mexican travel. While it's nothing to see some of these $300k rigs in Canada or the U.S, it stands out like a sore thumb in Mexico. We like to try not to attract attention to ourselves, and that's hard enough to do with Sherman.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-50323055161506941342014-04-14T09:10:48.156-04:002014-04-14T09:10:48.156-04:00As I said, they will be following our schedule and...As I said, they will be following our schedule and routine.

Naturally, things happen to cause delays occasionally but with some people it's just in their nature to always be late. 2) Spirit of cooperation: Will they help the others when needed? I had the experience of my travel partner refusing to spot me to back in to a back in site out of meaness and someone else in the park had to help me.<br /><br />Evelyn Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848839607050627874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15960551984935262792014-04-13T09:36:15.983-04:002014-04-13T09:36:15.983-04:00That kind of sets some parameters for anyone wanti...That kind of sets some parameters for anyone wanting to travel with you.<br />Will be interesting to see how it works out for you<br />We had friends that insisted on coming to the desert with us and camping right beside us for two weeks.<br />Ran their generator for many hours every day, it was not a very happy experience for us.<br />We have one solar panel and can manage to get by as long as the Arizona sun is shining most of the day.
