Sam And Saundra’s Year Long Adventure – Part 74

Mexico 

3/16/09 – Guanajuato – Bugamvilla RV Park

Today we are traveling about 160 miles, an estimated 4 hour drive.  We are warned ahead of time that we do not want to get lost here, as the road into this town involves underground tunnel-roads that go through mountain and not very comfortable for taking RV rigs through.  I listen-up.  Still lots of mountains.  We follow the signs out of Teotihuacan toward San Miguel de Allende. It is amazing how populous and green this interior still is.  Where is the desert?  We bypass Loma Linda (I thought that was in California) and find that although close, we have to pass Queretaro too.  I am anxious to get settled into a space.  It seems that there is way too much unclarity as to where we are going, by those who are ‘in the know’.  I see a big sign with the word disponible – I still do not know what it means. We get closer.

Signs

We see a sign to Guanajuato.  I am relieved.  One of the caravaners has experience a problem not with their springs, but with the brackets for the springs.  Not good.  They were babying it until they could work on it in the RV Park. No problem, our wagon masters have been here before.  They did not know how to get to the park.  We followed the wagon master right into town. We were going down narrow, nice neighborhoods, with people looking at us like we were crazy.  We are. The direction opinions of those with GPS systems were asked.  Luckily Brutilla was off and we kept silent.  The GPS’s were glitching.  Connie turned just before going into one of the ‘dreaded tunnels’ Connie had warned us about this morning.  We all followed. Housing was thick, as was traffic.  We pulled over as close to the side as possible at the request of the wagon master. She went in to a restaurant, and back out very quickly.  We all resumed following. We came to a Glorietta and the radio spouted the news – “Oh, I think I know where we are”.  I don’t know about you, but that made me feel better.  We soon came to a stretch of highway that was in the country with no housing about at all.  It was clearly not a part of the city.  And there was a big sign – Bugamvilla RV Park.  You only had to go through a junkyard (not garbage dump) to get to it.  We all parked and got set up.  I then went to work watching the men work on #9, Doug and Sherry’s brackets. I have pictures.

This One Stayed While We Ate

We eat the $5.00 meal at the RV Park restaurant. Socialize and end this exciting travel day.  I am sure I will dream of our trailer getting stuck in a tunnel with traffic in front and behind us and the CB blaring “Lemmings – Why are you following me?”  I need a break.  My sense of humor has fallen off one of those extremely deep and beautiful canyons we were rimming.
