Have a fun safe trip.

When in Cerocachui, you should make the trip down to the Urique River, a gorgeous drive.

Basaseachi is just spectacular, especially if a lot of water is going over.

P.S. (on edit) be sure to check the pwr-steering unit carefully. Our compa on the recent trip had a failure in his '07 Sportsmobile (the second for him in that unit). Fortunately, we were in San Ignacio and not in the outback.

What exactly failed in the power steering?

We are currently camping at Raven Rock, in the mountains west of Tucson. The weather is beautiful and the Adventure Trailers solar panel is providing 4.7 amps to the house batteries. We are still in range of the Verizon aircard. BGAN test to follow...
