Day 4 thru 9 30 Day Copper Caynon Tour

It has been a few days since the last post.  It is just amazing how many parks have only 15

AMP power, very low water pressure (that you do not want to drink without adding beach to it), sewer if you want to call it that, but they do have Wi-Fi at just about every park.

After leaving Guaymas we headed to Alamos.

There are a lot of road side venders trying to sell you just about anything from food to

Pottery, that is very colorful.

You also may be able to pick up some very colorful birds, the only problem is when you go to leave Mexico they will stay here and you will be out some money.

 Alamos has a lot of history that dates back to the early 1600’s, when the Spaniard’s came to Mexico.  There was a lot of silver mined from this area.  Then after the mines start closing the town almost became a ghost town.  After WWII this area attracted a lot of Americans that wanted to get away from the bureaucrats of the USA and just live in peace.  The houses here have to retain their looks of the 1800 – 1900.  At that time they were in bad repair.  

Here are a few pictures of Alamos’, if you look real close you can see some of the neat court yards they have.

If you look out there in the distance, you can see the arches we came trough when we entered the town.

Ever town has a cemetery, and why are we drawn to them is because of their beauty that you will see in the following pictures.

The Mexicans are very religious people and honor their dead.  On the first of November they have big party’s here in the cemetery to honor their family that has passed.  

A lot of the masonry work is great.

The RV Park we are staying at here in Alamos has everything; water, sewer Wi-Fi at the office, and power that is above 132 volts most of the time.  So to get the power down so that our surge protectors will let the power by so we can at least charge our batteries, we hook up heaters to drop the volts.  It worked some times and other times it was just luck that we got power.

On the 28^th of January we head out for Los Mochis, this is where we will be sitting for 9 days and the rest of the group will be heading up into the Copper Canyon.  I should note we are puppy sitting and cat sitting for the guest while they are in the canyon.  On our way there we passed some of Mexico’s agricultural areas.

 There is a lot of hay and corn being grown here; I think a lot of it is for the pig farms and dairy farms.

 As you can see someone likes to keep an eye on where we are going.

After a somewhat long drive,

We finally see our sign for Los Mochis.  We make a couple of more turns and low and behold we pull into another empty camp ground.

We have not had any problems all the way to here, and it is really too bad that more people do not come down here to see this beautiful country.  While we were getting set up to bring our people in we had one other camper show up.

Here it is full of Adventure Caravan coaches.  I think I said earlier that we have power (which is 30 AMP out of a 15 AMP plug), water that is ok, and sewer that is working.  We also have Wi-Fi at the office. 

Cyndy & I are here watching the 3 dogs; one of them is ours, and a cat.  Cyndy takes care of the feeding and I do the walking of the other two dogs.  The cat kind of does her own thing; Cyndy does spend some time with her a couple of times a day.  Other than that we are sitting back enjoying life here with the dogs and cat. I don’t know when the next post will be.  But if I have Wi-Fi I will let you know what we are up too.
