Our Broken Axle at Hermosillo !

About 3 kms south of Hermisillo, there was a thud, I looked out my rearview mirror to see the tag axle wheel sitting crooked and sparks flying ! We somehow were right at the spot where there is a turnoff and Alex got the MH pulled over immediately. Would you guess what we were parked at ??? a machine shop ! with probably the only welder for miles ! So with much hand signals, pointing and body motions .... of course get guys together and they all know what needs to be done. What a bunch of friendly and helpful people. Their yard was a good place to stay overnight too. By noon the next day all was fixed.

Hermosilla is the Capital of the State of Sonora. We didn't spend any time there, but in the Fall we will have to tour the City.

Also, right across from the Machine Shop is a huge Shrine up the side of the mountain. It was Sunday and there were lots of cars and people there.

Our Last week at Huatubompita

They are working hard at making a retaining wall to hold back any more storms that may hit. Last Fall they had a bad hurricane come thru, so this should help keep the beach on the beach !

The Stone wall is coming along very nicely !! Good job !

One of many Fishing Boats we would see out every day.

Some Cool Wheels !

Our Last week at Huatubompita, we went back to Alamos for the Festival, lots of vendors.

Drag Races on the Beach !

Alex will have to post descriptions ... all I see is the beautiful ocean in the background !! haha

Alex will have to post some description ... all looks good to me !

This was Sunday, Drags on the Beach. I think everyone from Town (Huatubompa) was out for this event ! We really didn't know how often they came out, of course only Spanish is spoken so ??

Very quiet Villages !

Most of the homes have fenced yards, the barbwire around them is used for their clothelines ! Must be careful pulling off laundry ...

I thought this little place was so neat with all the painted rocks.

No traffic jams here ! one of the many little villages we drove thru. I don't think they see much traffic, so we did get some looks ! And everyone has friendly waves !
