400(+or-) miles from Tucson to Tecate. Uckkkk

Only car crossing Tecate at 10:30

Good thing about the rain. they were grading the construction area south of Ensenada

Then in Colonet this guy was traveling in style. If you were driving too fast you would miss it

And then I decided it was time to stop and make an early night of it at Hotel Mission Santa Maria. From the Balcany

Even though the Hotel has a great restaurant, I went down to the renovated Old Mill. Had a plate with crab enchiladas and crab rellenos. That was after the wonderful green tomato salad. whoooeeee. I am stuffed.

Oh, that sounds great! We really like the Hotel Mission Santa Maria. But we have not eaten at the Old Mill for years----did not care much for one of the owners. Now we will need to try it again. Thanks

Woody, it is the old La Pinta in San Quintin-----

Now, I want that car you saw in Colonet and I want to see photos of your truck at the hotel! :biggrin:

Great pics rts551. Thanks. I really like that hotel too. Many memories from there in the last 15 years or so....:yes:..:yes:

Maybe I'll head down that way for Thanksgiving weekend.

We had several meals at the Old Mill last winter. Each of them was beyond expectations. The green tomato was delicious! Thanks for reminding me.
