Ahh, the beach. A wonderful place to spend a few days in February. El Fuerte was...interesting (our campground seemed to be the epicenter of all the local festivities) but it’s nice to be some where new. Today we abandoned (temporarily) the overland trails of yesterday and got back on the highways/toll roads. Of course, some of the toll roads are only marginally better then some of our overland trails - and they’re expensive! Some can be 5-10 dollars a pop. One other thing - the Federales drive very cool Dodge Chargers with a slick blue/white paint job.
Today our destination was Mazatlan, which is known as a hive of tourist activity. The drive went by relatively quickly as we left the deserts of Sonora and entered the agricultural region of Sinaloa. Unfortunately, we only are spending one night here on the beach but later in our trip we will make up for that.
We’re staying at an RV park which is quite nice but I’m getting anxious to really hit the jungle and hopefully get into some more remote territory. Our vehicles have been quite popular among the other tenants here and we’ve made some new friends.
Today we head to the town of Tequila. If you haven’t guessed, it’s a hub of tequila distillation.
