Just another beautiful day in Mexico...

We totally forgot that this was a long weekend here in Mexico!

Today is Revolution Day... a federal holiday. So when we saw a few more tents set up that looked like they were staying the night, it finally clicked. 

Not that it really would have made any difference for us. We still would have come up here. It's just not as peaceful as we were expecting. We went for a hike and the parking was starting to get quite busy.

You can see Igor's roof in the shade towards the left.

Ruth on the trail.

Good thing they put up information signs!

They actually did have some newer trail direction signs.

Fire tower.

Lots of cool rock formations.

Some rock climbers installed a cross.

Ruth, heading towards the top.

There was a group on one of the nearby rocks.

The view looking north.

Lots of interesting rocks.


Ruth, making her way back down.

We got back to the campsite to find it really busy! Mostly day use people, and in fact Igor was surrounded by parked cars. I forgot to get a photo. One family had taken over the table that was right beside us. But we know that's the way things work here in Mexico. We said hello and everybody was friendly.

There was some pretty loud music overnight, although it was pretty far away. This is typical of Mexico on a weekend, so we're not surprised. The Mexicans love their music!

We were thinking of moving to a different location just for a change of scenery and some new hiking trails, but given that today is a holiday Monday we think we'll just stay put. It's actually a perfect spot both for sun for our solar panels, and the angle to get optimal Starlink internet access.
