Yes, the roads and towns can be very challenging but if you know ahead what to expect and where to go and just take things slow and easy you can navigate through or around most of them without too much difficulty.<br /><br />Thanks for your suggestion regarding the WEBER grill, we might just give that a try.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8680743505764112442014-12-23T17:50:38.054-05:002014-12-23T17:50:38.054-05:00You said it Paul and Marti!You said it Paul and Marti!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-78082841215670608492014-12-23T17:50:02.676-05:002014-12-23T17:50:02.676-05:00They are definitely a popular mode for camping dow...They are definitely a popular mode for camping down here.

From what we hear the only time they are better is when there is a good strong breeze, apparently they can't handle the wind. Having said that I remember a few times in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island where the mosquitoes were thick as can be and we didn't enjoy that either!

Definitely not our idea of a fun place to stay. However going out for a walk didn't seem to be an issue until you stopped! Nope definitely not going back to that area again.<br /><br />That's where we met Mark and Sheri too, we were all there together. Unfortunately we didn't see too much of them on that particular visit. Yes, they still have the trailer on the back of their Eurovan.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19295553358347853952014-12-23T17:34:42.291-05:002014-12-23T17:34:42.291-05:00That sounds like a great way do do this task, unfo...That sounds like a great way do do this task, unfortunately we don't carry around an electric drill with us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43746816305676980572014-12-22T20:40:46.767-05:002014-12-22T20:40:46.767-05:00It's a beautiful area but unfortunately the bu...It's a beautiful area but unfortunately the bugs take away from it BIG time!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-52389831104672735302014-12-22T20:35:56.443-05:002014-12-22T20:35:56.443-05:00Good for you Renate!

W...Great blog; have been reading it with interest. We took 4 months last year to travel the Baja and then Calif/Arizona. Had a fabulous time but the roads/towns were somewhat challenging with a 30' 5th wheel. With regard to your WEBER grill, what we did after you-tubing the problem was: clean the burner then turn the propane tank valve off. Leave it off for a couple of minutes then VERY VERY slowly turn the valve back on. It worked! We had tried a variety of other suggestions but it would only work for a short time. Just a hint for future reference if you have any further issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037003363425486977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-26826462012335291192014-12-21T18:58:21.575-05:002014-12-21T18:58:21.575-05:00Nothing worse than bugs to ruin a good camping spo...Nothing worse than bugs to ruin a good camping spot! :c(Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82896258125590087222014-12-21T17:45:42.806-05:002014-12-21T17:45:42.806-05:00Wow, I had one of those VW rigs in the 70's, b...Wow, I had one of those VW rigs in the 70's, but back then it was just a camper:)Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-13996647682431330352014-12-21T14:34:57.752-05:002014-12-21T14:34:57.752-05:00I remember many a time driving in Puerto Rico and ...I remember many a time driving in Puerto Rico and saying, "Whoa, wouldn't be able to come here with the motorhome!" Just seems to be the way of the sub-tropics. I also recall getting bitten a few times at the beach right around the end of the day. Lesson learned. But it was only at the end of the day. Too bad they attack you in the RV as well.

We just could not figure out the attraction for people and got out of there right away. We certainly will never go back. It just looked like a town that was abandoned. Oh, and the bugs.....ugh!! We continued on up the highway to Mazatlan. Thanks for the trip down memory lane though!!<br /><br />We met Mark & Sheri at Hacienda Contreras in 2013. Do they still have their trailer with their motorcycle? Of course, we remember them!!
