March 6 RV Stuck In the Sand

[tomcycle]

As we prepared to leave San Petrito Beach, it happened, drove 10 feet and the RV sunk in the sand

5 Hours of digging and 25 feet from solid ground.

Just a bunch of pictures of a big RV stuck in the sand and the only way to get it out was to dig it out by hand

And the adventure continues.......

We are now in Los Barriles in a full hook up RV park, boy did I miss infrastructure, Running water, sewer, wifi, electricity. and no worries about getting stuck.
Today we start the long trek North, next stop Loreto

Sounds luxurious. How's Jake feeling? Is he still sore? Hi Sharon.

hey tom. that looked like no fun at all!
am at kiki's in San felipe now headed a bit south in a day or two.

We are in Loreto for a few days. Then continuing north. Heard that Mex 5 is not the right choice for this RV because the washed out bridges

heard of the bridge problem Kiki says the bridges are fine it's the missing on/off ramps thats the problem.
