Day 25 Cabo Pulmo to Ciudad Insurgentes 400 KM

We had a wonderful breakfast with our dear friend, Randy before starting the trek home. We had a perfect week in Cabo Pulmo. So many special memories we will hold on to and we look forward to returning next year. We already have plans  to get together with Randy and Kim when they return to Oregon for the summer in June.

Snorkeling with Janice yesterday was a dream. It's was absolutely magical! Hopefully, we can find a spot to snorkel on our way back home. 

We headed into town and Janice hooked up the Honda to the motorhome while I walked to the little souvenir shop to pick up a magnet and a couple of much-needed t-shirts 😉. On my way back I ran into an old friend, Penny Consuelo, the beach dog. When Janice saw us walking to the motorhome she exclaimed "Oh No! .

Unfortunately we noticed the tire we had gotten repaired in Bahia de Las Angeles was low on air so we got out our compressor and blew it up now that we are officially certified to take the hubcap off of the motorhome. ( See Day #9 blog post)

We headed down the dirt road for 25 km before hitting pavement for the first time in a week. It was fun to be on the road again. The road was good except going through the mountains was slow but we talked, listened to music and Janice  caught us up on the news from her phone.

We stopped in La Paz to get some supplies. When we checked the tires we saw that it was still holding air but it had a big scrape on the side from a pothole or when I pulled over on the dirt road to avoid getting clipped by another vehicle. We Googled to find some tire shops Lanterras, they are everwheredown here) on the way out from La Paz. Unfortunately, they all closed early because of it being Easter Eve. We decided to chance it and drive 2 and a half hours to the 4 Point RV Park in Ciudad Insurgentes where we knew our buddy Juan would help us.

We got there right at sunset. Juan came out and greeted us and said he would be happy to help us in the morning. Janice made burritos and I made margaritas and Juan, his Dad, Pedro, and Juan's 6-year old son, Antonio joined us. Juan brought the firepit into the large palapa and a couple of his friends joined us and the party was on. Tomorrow Juan is going to make breakfast and we are going to pressure wash the salt from under the motorhome and fix the tire. We couldn't feel more welcome and grateful.
