Made it!

361 Km.

Total trip south - 4,708 Km.

It was a nice clear day for a drive as we set out from Mazatlán to La Peñita.  Beautiful country and highways.

Leaving Mazatlan

 Crops

 Agave fields

People selling products near toll booths

 Mountainous country

 More vendors

 A bit of low cloud

 Ocean in distance

 Yeah, Nayarit!

 You know you're in Mexico when...

Very healthy cows and horses all along the way

Eventually we got to the area hit by the hurricane.  There had been major washouts and rivers widened to a half mile.  This area got it both from the ocean surge and the runoff from the mountains.

 Overpass nearly washed out

 We only had one minor detour due to road washout

There was a couple of miles where the river water had been washing over the highway and eroding the downstream side.

 Clams or oysters anyone?

Sugarcane

After we reached Tepic we had to go through a nearby town with very narrow streets.  I was too busy watching the motorhome squeeze its way through parked cars on both sides to take any photos.  Then we were on our way again beginning the winding descent down what is called Tepic hill.  We were very fortunate not to have someone in front of us the entire way.

 Narrow lanes & sharp curves - let's throw in some cows...

 The red sign says dangerous curves 23 km

 Huge trees

 Poinsettia like flowers on this tree

 La Peñita RV Park

We are in our site after an uneventful roller coaster ride down Tepic hill.
