Patzcuaro to
Mazamitla
Next morning,
Valentine's Day, we woke to a chilly motorhome, 58F, 14C, inside. The
furnace soon took care of that, we would have to wait for the sun and
the clear sky to warm up the outside temp from its early morning 2C.
Art began the day
with his Brownie Points moving in a positive direction not only by
presenting Gillian with a card, which he had remembered to pick up at
the supermarket one day last week, but also by remembering that today
was Valentine's Day and where he had hidden the card! As an added
bonus, Gillian had completely forgotten that it was Valentine's Day!
Heading out, we
decided once again to hook up after leaving the park, as near to the
end of the rough stuff that we could safely stop at and were on the
road again at 10:00 AM, 25 minutes after leaving the RV park less
than a kilometre back.
We knew the route
through the center of town was no good for the rig so although we
didn't go back to the cuota we took the bypass around most of the
town down to the libre were we turned south to top up the propane,
then passed the former El Pozo and pulled into the Pemex for diesel.
We had several
option for today's route having done some of it before, via Morelia,
and having received several suggestions and recommendations from
friends directly and the internet.
We were heading for
an RV Park between Mazamitla and Valle de Juarez. On our own we
would have gone by Morelia. Several others suggested around the back
of Lago Patzcuaro and to the 15D via a smaller back road.We decided to try the back road through Coeneo. (Between the two white pointers)
This route took us through some nice towns and villages, interesting scenery and through some hilly and twisty roads through pine forest. The last photo in this group is the 15D north east towards Guadalajara.
Once on the 15D we followed it to the La Barca exit then head south and west
again following secondary roads.
This was all new to us so we were more intent on watching were we were going than taking photos.
We arrived at Hacienda El Retiro at 3:40PM
More to come
