MX Trip # 15 To Mazatlan ( Friday )

We left our Truck Stop camping spot ( near Los Mochas ) around 8 AM which our usual launch time and headed to Mazatlan to met our long time traveling companions, Otto and Edna. This leg of the trip , according to the GPS should take about 4 hours. However, Mr GPS never actually traveled on these "god for saking road" in MX or they never would had suggested a travel time. I , liking this stretch of road to mimmic a plowed field. There is so much broken and patched asphalt that you can not avoid the bumps and pot holes. The Mexicans seem to think if you drive real fast you will skim the tops of the bumps because they were flying past us.

We arrived at our camp site in the early afternoon and the owner was waiting for us just inside the gate so Otto must have told him about our arrival time. Otto and Edna had gone to check out a town about 50 KM away that was disseminated  by  the  hurricane in Nov. The camp site is situated on a boulevarded 4 lane street therefore I had to pass the camp site and go to a "Returno" which is a legal U-Turn to be able to enter the gate. The owner said you missed the Returno and said no I didn't;  I needed a different Returno with more room but the owner has never had a MH so doesn't understand how much room we need. 

Then after I signed in I got a real shocker when he hit me with the price, 48.00 CDN  for 1 night and the wifi is the shits, the grounds are poorly maintain and the property is  either construction or destruction on all 3 sides. They start at 6 AM and work to dark. One lady said it was so loud that they had to wear ear plugs. Furthermore, you have to walk at least a block to the beach. 

I can assure you that I will never return to this shit box of a place.

We did get to visit with Otto and Edna for a few hour so we got caught on their happening for the past 3 years. We don't think Mazatlan is the place for as we prefer to have a waterfront park and there a many better places in MX. cheers

We are all mature, until someone pulls out some bubble wrap
