15*C @ 8 am; 22*C in pm with winds from the north
Slept
in again and woke up to a beautiful sunshine!
I called our membership WHR and AOR and made reservations for March 5 at
Pilot Knob, Winterhaven and also paid our memberships as it was overdue. I called our Mail Service and had our mail
forwarded to Winterhaven. Also ordered a
WIFI BOOSTER which I have tried before and it works!!!
It
is windy again, from the North this time!
We went into town to get some wine, bread and milk then we explore more
places and ended up on the south side of El Golfo on the beach
with Palapas and some buildings in dire need for repair. We drove back to our campground via the
beach. I put the Jeep in 4X4 and we went
for it. The sand was smooth and
hard. There is a gate at our resort that
gives beach access so that’s where we came in.
We had a relaxing afternoon reading and watched the HELEN SHOW at 4 pm with more on the
Academy Awards. We had more meat
for dinner that we cannot take across to the States and vegetables; we are just about out
of everything.
It
was great to watch our favorite show, “THE BLACK LIST”; I have really missed
that show the past couple months.12*C @ 6 am and cloudy; 22*C in pm and NO WIND!
This
is our last day here! After showering
and cleaning, we loaded all the toys and are now ready to leave. Do I sound anxious to do so!??? Something is going on with Tucker; he’s been
in and out all night wanting to go to the bathroom and this morning, he was
barfing!? I’ve told Val that we will not
give him any of his meds or people food for a day or two and see what
happens. Time to see a Vet again!?
I
loaded the kayaks and bikes and pretty well packed everything except the
essentials for sewer and water. We are
ready to go. Tucker is sleeping right
now; he has been since 9 o’clock this morning after I convinced him to come in
the house. He really is in bad shape and
we hate to see him suffer like this. We
went out for lunch while he was sleeping and had some Tacos de Cameron which
were delicious then we came home. We
read then had a light dinner. After
doing the dishes, we went out outside for a nightcap and our neighbours from
Alberta joined us for a while. It was a
good day, tomorrow; we head out for the USA!
12*C @ 7 am; 26* in pm
We
left at 9:15 am. The ride along Hwy 3
was desolate and flat on one side and the Sea on the other side. At the junction of Hwy 44 we had to stop for
a Military check then onward to Hwy 4 where the scenery became more of farms
and rich agriculture. We stopped for
fuel in Coahuila and took on 189 Litres.
We soon turned on Hwy 44 north and drove through CD Guadalupe de Victoria
and eventually turn west on the old hwy 2 and again north on hwy 1 to the
border. The roads were rough at places
and in some instances we almost had to crawl.
Anyway, we arrived at the border at 1 pm and 15 minutes later, we were
through and heading north to I-8 in the US of A. We double back to El Centro and stopped at
COSTCO to purchase some vitamins, eye solution for Val, wine, beer and
steaks. After putting the stuff away, we
got back on I-8 East and arrived at Pilot Knob in Winterhaven, CA around 4
pm.
The
set up was quick then we relaxed with a drink.
It is very warm! We went to the “Q”,
a local Casino, and had a really nice dinner for our birthdays with wine and a
cognac to top it! (Never done that before and it was good). We came home, watched the tube for while then to bed!Tucker is feeling much better and back to his old self. I think it was something he picked up on the ground and ate which upset his stomach and made in so lethargic!? Anyway, we are happy that he is grouchy again!!!
We drove 179
miles in 4.5 hrs @ 39 MPH average
N 32* 44.669’W 114* 45.845’
