I doubt that there are any KOA's that are less than $40USD dollars a night now but maybe I am wrong. However, at least in the US they would have sufficient power to use, whereas at this campground it was too sketchy to plug in as the power was too high in voltage.<br /><br />We are in Agave country now, and yes the fields look lovely.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58985915117921123862019-12-20T09:03:05.083-05:002019-12-20T09:03:05.083-05:00It was partly our own fault for not asking at the ...It was partly our own fault for not asking at the very beginning what the price would be, although the manger wasn't around at the time and they don't display their pricing anywhere either. We will know better next time and in the further we will find somewhere else for our overnight stop. It is a shame really as it is a pretty park.<br /><br />I think we have only ever once taken a toll road in the USA in our motorhome and that was around Dallas I think, and it was years and years ago.<br /><br />We are glad that you are enjoying our posts of our travels through Mexico with the group. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17718273326053457832019-12-20T08:52:18.250-05:002019-12-20T08:52:18.250-05:00We are definitely enjoying our stay here with Bonn...We are definitely enjoying our stay here with Bonnie and Sam ans we will make sure to say hello to them for you.

The stay bill especially seemed high.<br /><br />We had this happen in Oklahoma on a toll road -- more than $12 to go 100 miles! And if you got off, then back on, you started all over again. We protested, but the blank face of the collector basically said, "Heard it before. Too bad. Now beat it." Aaarrrghgghghghgh.<br /><br />I'm REALLY enjoying touring Mexico with you and your group. Thank you for being so specific in your posts!

It is definitely more prevalent in your area because you are at the beach and in a very "gringoy" area but most of the places that we travel in Mexico we feel that we are treated fairly and are not being taken advantage of and that is one of the many reasons that we love traveling to places that aren't touristy.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-76862070493442453652019-12-19T08:35:32.284-05:002019-12-19T08:35:32.284-05:00The sunset was spectacular!

The campground in Tepic wasn't unfriendly they just had such a messed up pricing structure that we thought was totally unfair and there was just no negotiating with them on it, and because of that we just won't be back there again.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8744096201127287322019-12-19T08:26:55.537-05:002019-12-19T08:26:55.537-05:00Yes, it is very beautiful countryside.
