We wish we would have had more time to spend in this area because it would be great for hiking. We certainly envy you with being able to spend a whole month here but we have to be in the Mexico City area before the end of the month and we don't want to have real long travel days. We are managing to do some hiking though and we are happy about that.<br /><br />We also like to get to places earlier in the day but for this trip we are having to do things a little differently, like having to take time out of the day in some of the towns along the way to find some free internet rather that having to buy data for our mifi and using it in the evening from our boondocking site.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-23041780835291838982015-10-08T14:32:25.109-04:002015-10-08T14:32:25.109-04:00Happy to hear that you are enjoying our posts.

No, I ...No worries the posts will keep coming. :-)<br /><br />No, I don't think it would make a difference or not whether the map is in English or in Spanish. The first one we got was in English and and it was a tourist one with lots of places of interest and a little blurb about each at the front of the map book but we couldn't seem to find it last year so we got a Spanish one. The Guía Roji map book is by far the best one to have. You can purchase it through Amazon or you can buy it a most of the bigger Pemex gas stations. They usually keep them behind the counter of the Oxxo stores that are at those Pemex stations.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-16594401653055221122015-10-08T14:24:09.800-04:002015-10-08T14:24:09.800-04:00Thank you Chuck and Anneke!

But that's what is great about RVing, everyone does it their way. We stayed in TRNP for about a month, 2 weeks in each campground, and really loved it. Gorgeous is the word.
