Day 1 or the North Migration

WHERE ARE WE? Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico

Well the day has finally arrived to pack up and head north.  We planned on being on the road by 9 and we basically were except we took a long time getting going.  It is a slow process to get down chicken street with the trailers and RRV.  Jeff, Fany, and Max will be travelling with us out to Texas.  Its always good to have company.  I got RRV moved out of our spot and ready to go around 8 am.  

Jeff and Fany got their rig all hooked up and they headed out the gate.  Pretty tight fit!!  It brings back memories of maneuvering all 40 feet of the Ponderosa in and out of here.  

Abuela, Oscar and Kenia came to see us off this morning.  And Joel was there as usual just helping in any way he could.  Janelle from next door came to say goodbye as well.  I thought that was real nice of her.  And of course Jen and Ed bade us all farewell and we look forward to being back here in early November.

We headed down the road for a few hours with Max trying his darndest to make sure we stayed on the right route via his walkie talkie.  He was a good kid and only got about 3 stops all day.  We went from ocean to mountains to farmland to big city today.  We went through the middle of Guadalajara which was very busy but as long as you stayed in your lane everything was fine.  I would say it knocked a half hour off our trip going that way.

Breaker breaker 19, do you copy??

Which way do we go Max??

Archie making sure we are on the right road.

Lots of Agave along the highway

We are stopped in Kikapu Parque Acuatico RV park in Lagos de Moreno.   Lagos de Moren is a wonderful town and we should stop and explore it another time.  The park we are in is like a kids theme park with wave pools, big pools, and full size elephants, giraffes, and dinosaurs.  The cathedral downtown looked amazing as we drove by the downtown area.  We will put it on our bucket list.

The RV spots are nothing to write home about, but it will do the trick for the night.

Here is a map of our trip today and oh yes, Temperature showed 29C this afternoon going down to 7c tonight.  Good Nite!!
