Tucked In For The Night

We are safely tucked into our favorite truck stop at the first toll booth out of Tepic on the road to Guadalajara. The lot was full but we managed to squeeze in behind a semi.  He appears to be napping and when he pulls out we will move up so we are first in line.

It was a good drive. I remembered to fill the tank and the gas station situation was the same as last year, that is, no gas stations all the way to Tepic. We arrived with a little over a quarter tank of gas left.

There was a HUGE State Police presence on the way into Tepic. There must have been over a hundred police complete with armored trucks, machine guns, flack jackets, motorcycles and who knows what else. They had traffic down to one lane in each direction and were having a very good look at everyone going through. They were picking the odd car or truck out of the line for an inspection but only had smiles and waves for us. I would not want to be a bad guy!

We are about 200 KM from a nice swim at Villa Corona.

Here we are leaving Tres Amigos after saying goodbye to Colin and Contessa. "Don't bump that palm tree, Croft"!
