\nWe awoke early and headed over to a nearby McDonalds to use their free Wi-Fi and then headed to the border crossing at Los Indios<\/strong>, it\u2019s only a 20 min ride so we got there about 7AM. I think the crossing opens at 6AM but the place where you can get your FMM visa\u2019s doesn\u2019t open until 8AM and if you need a car permit or want to pay for your FMM that doesn\u2019t open until 9AM. We left a few minutes after 8AM, but did not pay the visa fee, you can pay at any time during the trip at any bank in MX.<\/p>\n

We drove to Valle Hermosa and got there to buy a Telcel 3G card for my computer so we can get internet access when within cell phone range. Too early again! The Coppel store doesn\u2019t open until 10 AM and we got here at 9 AM. However the Bancomer bank across the street opens at 9 AM so I decided to pay for my FMM and exchange some dollars for pesos. We did a little shopping and I was first in-line at the Telcel booth. They were very helpful in buying the computer 3G stick and signing up for the service but it took an hour to do it. The stick cost about $50 and 30 days of service cost $40.<\/p>\n

It took us 3 1\/2 hours to get to La Pesca on very good roads with very light traffic. Of course there were two military stops and one customs stop along the way which went very quickly. We saw a lot of military in vehicles along the way also.<\/p>\n

We got to La Pesca a little before 3pm and temperatures were in the high 80\u2019s. We found that the Tropicana Campground<\/strong> had weathered the Hurricane that passed right over it this summer well, it looked the same as last year and the USA owner was happy to see his first RV of the season. He is very troubled that his tourism business has dried up but of course it is still very\u00a0 early in the season.<\/p>\n

The campground has full hookups for one site and if he fixes the electrical has water and electric for about 4 more sites along with 4 nice cabins. It is right on the river and about 1-1\/2 mi to the free ocean beach camp sites.<\/p>\n

We awoke to a very windy morning and temperature about 70oF, there is no cell service here so I had to bike into town to post this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
