Friday: Valle de Guadelupe: We traveled north along the pacific coast of Baja until we reached Ensenada, and then turned inland following Mexico Highway 3 and the wine country route northeast. We reached our destination of a small RV park within the wine country hills and, following lunch, went on our final group outing, this time to a couple of wineries. Educated about the wine process and well sampled in different wines, we returned to camp. We had one last group happy hour and ended the day.
Saturday: Tecate, Baja -> El Centro, CA, USA
We drove north through the remaining hills to Tecate. Mexico had one last pothole for us, a giant one that I couldn’t miss and we hit hard, hard enough that the freezer door popped open and frozen goods scattered about the RV!
Even though there was a slow line at the border, it felt good to be headed back into the U.S.! The secondary agricultural inspection was confused and random, and our caravan filled up their inspection area causing more confusion as to where to put us and who was inspecting who. At our final pull out after the inspection there were many hugs and good-byes to the friends that had been made over the trip.
We were now on our own again and we began the drive towards El Centro, CA. We didn’t make it all the way before the fifth wheels of Wallace & Lora, and Manfred & Bridget from the caravan caught up to us.
They pulled off the freeway a bit before El Centro and we continued on into town. We had a true American lunch (McDonald’s) and shopping (Walmart) and began to look for a camp spot. Finally decided to just stay at a camp within El Centro itself.
