Boon docking next to Hwy 200 (Unknown Pueblo)On the road again… We left Zihautanjego and experienced good roads into Playa Azul. We read in the Church’s book about a neat campground about 20 miles passed Playa Azul and decided that is where we would spend the night. Luck was not with us today. The campground no longer existed and we did not want to turn back to Playa Azul. So, onward we went along MX Hwy 200.
The Rancho Buganvilias campground was only 94 miles away and it was still mid afternoon. Well, then came the mountains – up and down, in and out, round the bend -- all while towing the car. Yes, the brakes heated up again and we stopped for about an hour and decided that we will stop at the next Pemex for the night (we found out later that the next Pemex was just passed the Rancho Buganvilias campground).
Sometimes the unexpected turns out to be fun. We drove on to some small pueblo (name we do not know) and we were able to park the RV about 10 feet off the main road in front of a house next to a hotel. Cindy offered the owners 100 pesos if we could park in front of their house for the night. They accepted and we boon docked in front of their house. Next door there was a hotel, small grocery store and restaurant. The restaurant owner invited us to have ceviche and her favorite shrimp dish. In a balcony dining area, perched up high on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, we had one of the best meals of the trip and, of course, we were not denied our view of the sunset.
By the way, The Mexico trucks run all night long. Being 10 feet from the highway, we experienced up close the truck noises all night. They would slow down in low gear, and then rev up their engines as the passed through the Pueblo.
The next morning we had an easy drive to the Rancho Buganvilias campground (Spanish spelling) in La Placita. There we enjoyed a revisit with the owners, Sandy and Cynthia. Originally from San Diego, CA, they moved fulltime to their Mexico home and build an RV Park on a hilltop overlooking the Ocean. We just relaxed for a few days, checked out the local color, and have a “do nothing” day. We were only 64 miles from Cuyutlan, but we wanted to arrive there fully rested.

I was interested when you were turned away from that RV park due to lack of space as it has appeared that many of the places you have stayed at have a lot of empty spaces.
Do you think the drug wars have hurt business. I sure understand why folks are avoiding Mexico as the news here is UGLY.
