When we were there, the hotel that has RV parking in San Felipe was closed for good, so not sure if that's changed. <br /><br />The problem is that the road from Ocampo to El Rosario is VERY steep. There were times I had the pedal to the floor in first gear. And coming down our brakes started to overheat. We would not do that again with our style of rig. If you are confident in your engine and brakes...then go for it.<br /><br />Yes, I would try to break up the drive. Checking back, it took us about 4 hours to do 80 miles.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72452651862852817182012-03-05T19:14:10.297-05:002012-03-05T19:14:10.297-05:00Yes, just search our blog (top left corner) for co...Yes, just search our blog (top left corner) for couchsurfing.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-34873625132631939762012-03-05T19:13:09.167-05:002012-03-05T19:13:09.167-05:00Yes, Mexico City definitely has smog!Yes, Mexico City definitely has smog!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-57355193638994354072012-03-04T21:28:17.225-05:002012-03-04T21:28:17.225-05:00What the heck..what is in the "sandwich"...What the heck..what is in the "sandwich"?

At the moment we are in Patzcuaro again, after a side trip to Angahuan to see the volcano. We are planning our next couple of nights, and are wondering if you have any suggestions regarding El Roasario campgrounds. We see Church's book has 3, plus the possibility of boondocking in the parking lot up at the sanctuary itself. Do you recommend any one in particular? Church's book also recommends going from Patzcuaro straight to El Roasario, which he says takes about 7 hours. By my calculations, it seems we would be way better off stopping in Zinapecuaro (north of Morelia), also in Church's book. Do you have insight as to why such a short trip would take 7 hours? Thanks alot. Enjoy Mexico City!!!Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431126517320324143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-34009758123024461262012-03-04T15:02:24.536-05:002012-03-04T15:02:24.536-05:00I'm a new reader.
