Monterrey next stop
Still running for the border
Sandwiched between two beach bunnies
The Cuotas were great, but expensive
Active volcano near Colima During our visit in Cuyutlan, we learned that the Camping World manager wanted us to start our seasonal job as Goodwill Ambassadors in Branson, MO immediately. Thus, we decided to conclude our Mexico tour and head for the border. We camped for two nights in the Chimulco campground (a hot springs spa) in Villa Corona (west of Guadalajara). From there we began our forced march to the border. We drove through Guadalajara to San Luis Potosi and spent the night in a very nice Pemex complex (complete with restaurants and convenience store).
Early the next morning found us on the road to Monterrey. We drove through Monterrey and stayed at a motel about half way between Monterrey and Laredo, TX. The following day we arrived at the border check-in at the Columbia crossing (a good crossing in that you bypass the crowded Nuevo Laredo and Laredo crossing).
We drove by the stand where we were required to turn in the holograms for our motor home and auto (required if you ever want to apply for another in the future). So after going through U.S. customs, we had to return to the Mexico side and let the Mexico staff remove the holograms. Back through U.S. customs, we were waved on and voila we were home again.
Back in the “Good ol’ USA” we drove north till we be arrived in Kyle, TX. (I am going to quit complaining about our Interstate System, it is great compared to what we experienced in Mexico, with the exception of the expensive toll roads or cuotas.) A good night’s sleep in a road-side RV Park we traveled on to Thackerville, OK and dry camped for the next night. “On the Road Again” we stopped just north of Claremore, OK and camped at the Will Rogers Downs RV Park. (US campgrounds for the most part have great electricity and water – yeah for 50 amp service and correct polarity). Finally, on the 8th of March, we arrived at Branson, MO at our new home at Branson Lakeside RV Park. We were EXAUSTED!
