Watch the KM markings as you get near, the road to the pools is dirt and not well marked. We were there in March of 2010 as well. It is called the Recreativo El Gordo Y San Pancho.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7145439356430068072.post-78494051777907093622014-01-02T20:43:27.587-08:002014-01-02T20:43:27.587-08:00Found it!

I think you would be much happier with 180 rather than 145D (the Cuota). 145D is very poorly maintained, expensive and very bumpy. We took 180 one year and it is a much better highway, Plus, you can then visit Catemaco with it's nice RV park and lake and take a boat ride to the “New Age” Reserva Ecologica de Nanciyaga up the lake where Sean Connery filmed "Medicine man".Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7145439356430068072.post-33270513818533959742014-01-02T19:21:26.704-08:002014-01-02T19:21:26.704-08:00East coast is expensive, but In the southwest we c...East coast is expensive, but In the southwest we can dry camp all over the desert in some really great places.

Would love to explore some more, but we did find it much less expensive here in the USA, we use our membership camping, so do not need to pay much for camping here, no need for Mexican insurance here.

However, we did see lots of larger rigs and in fact our friends Bill and Carol have an Alfa that they drive around Mexico. They blog over at The Golden Years. http://lifeinbrowncounty.blogspot.mx They are in Mazatlan right now.<br /><br />Actually, traveling in Mexico is much easier than we thought it would be - just people living their lives and fairly good roads. If you get a chance check out the blogs I linked - they all make it look easy. Also, if you look back in our archives you can go over our 3 1/2 months there - I usually take pictures of the roads so you can see what it is like during a travel day. The Church's book is a must by the way. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Teresa Johannesma Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452415576469118219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7145439356430068072.post-69030088745294184022014-01-01T20:49:50.176-08:002014-01-01T20:49:50.176-08:00Looking forward to reading your blogs about Mexico...Looking forward to reading your blogs about Mexico.
