We drove to PV to get married and the toll booth operators were on strike so we got waved through also. There are a couple of places where the fence has been removed and the big rigs go though and then around the booth. Takes a little time but...

300 pesos is only a trace over $14 now. If you have money in Mexico, the latest downturn in the Peso really hurts. Don't ask me how I know

Yes they are hurting down here with the gas prices that is why they are fighting it but seems the govt has been subsidizing it for years and now are pulling back on that, hence the price increase.
I will be ordering Air bags and replacing them while down here and in am will go to local truck parts to see if they can get them and at what price. If not will have then sent to Tucson and Marcell ( friend) will pick them up and bring back for me in couple weeks.
Did a complete service on his A Hot today and changed over 2 pumps on unit as they had seized after only 3 yrs. Now I know why I do not want one of them, up front cost and parts. At least save the labour costs. We also installed the Apple TV thing for his smart TV.

Already out here? I think that's the Barks in the first coach on the left (South side) as you drive into the gathering spot?

Was able to snap a few pictures before some left and others came. Also before it really clouded over and started to blow a bit.

Wind still howling here at Q, glad I put the solar panels down earlier. At least the weather is supposed to be sunny the rest of the week.

We're taking off this morning, and heading for the coast. Relatives in Ventura have a spot for us in front of their house. Spend a few days there, then swing back through Q on our return leg to TX. Will stop here for the night and see who remains at the Gathering spot (the HARDCORE group).

Hi Chuck,
Don't know how familiar you are with L.A. traffic. The fastest way from your location would be the 10 to the 57 to the 210 then straight west to Ventura.

Sorry - the above notes arrived after we departed. Thanks, and sorry we missed those we didn't say "Hi" to. I blame the weather for our lack of civility and missing some campfires. We'll be back through there again in a week, if anyone is still around.

Thanx craneman - we made it to Ventura in one piece - traffic wasn't too bad. (But I wouldn't want to deal with it on a daily basis).

Biggest thing I hate about driving in Cali (with a towd) is the 55 mph speed limit. I cheated a bit...

Regrettably we are going to miss the mark this year. We had really wanted to meet so many we have gotten to know on the forum. Seal Beach from Feb 1st to 14th then to Yuma and the Navarro brothers. Then FMCA rally followed by SKP. Hope to see a few of you on that loop. Safe travels!

Is that Seal Beach Oregon?

Seal Beach south of Long Beach CA. Naval Weapons Station that also has a campground.

Campfires are so great here they begin arriving at ten in the morning for an evening campfire. Two FoFums chatting by the fire pit.

Yesterday morning , I pulled into the gathering area at Quartzsite . drove my truck hauling a bucket full of two inch bird houses on a wire mounted stem to a wood base and my Maverick . Gave a bird house to each Foretravel owner that I could . The count was 18 . I have great pleasure making them and hope each one is enjoyed . If I get in a hurry , I can make two per hour , but being old and retired that just doesn't happen . It is a fun thing with satisfaction being the results . Enjoy every body . Brad Metzger

We missed the gathering, but I got the truck!
Free, just some labor time helping them clear their property.

Brad, Thanks for coming out to the Lemon Gathering in the middle of everywhere. It was good to see you, share feelings about Dave and re-connect with your life. And even though you are not here today, we have a piece of you sitting on our dash awaiting the arrival of a bird of paradise.
Safe travels, thanks for our red birdhouse, Barry & Cindy
