Day 4

Taking a break for lunch

January 27 was a travel day from Guaymas to Alamos. Pretty good route, but lots of topes (speed bumps).  We saw plenty of “wild life” cows, chickens, goats and a horse drawn carriage. Our small group of 3 Rigs decided to stop at PEMEX Station #4143 for fuel (they accepted credit cards) and then have lunch.  As we were rolling out, we noted 9 more of our Adventure Caravan Rigs had already rolled in or were rolling in on the other end of the huge PEMEX Station. 

Our Police Escort into Alamos

The excitement really began as we started going down one by one every 5 minutes from PEMEX Station  #8117 to the Dolisa RV Park in Alamos. The entry was tight and narrow and quite challenging.  I told Carole, our Wagonmaster, I’d relieve her with the red flag she was using to help our guests know where to turn into our park. When I got back to the street, there had been a new development. Carole said the local Police were going to escort our Rigs down in small groups.  By this time, Lynn arrived by car while #2 Tail gunner Clary was back at the PEMEX directing the action. I snapped photos as the first police car came down the street leading 9 Rigs from our second group. The police led all the Rest of the Rigs down to the Park entrance. Lots of local people were watching.  

Time to relax after a travel day

After Happy Hour at Phil and Barb's Rig, with good munchies and conversation about our day, we adjourned for a quick supper and headed with 12 others to the Alamos 2013 cultural festival.

We ended up watching a magnificent opera.  It was an enjoyable evening, something none of us expected to be doing this evening...
