When Leaving a Gas Station
Check your Motorhome.
Filling up our truck at the Pemex in Vizcaino, we watched a rather large motorhome pull out and head north. Immediately, a woman exited the restroom,
and quickly looked frantic.
I stopped her from opening our truck door because of our dogs, but assured her we would help her. We all saw the MOHO turn off the highway headed
east. Visabally very upset, she asked, "Have you ever been deserted by your husband in a foreign country?" The answer was affirmative, but that is a
long story.
We tried to convince her that he had probably noticed she was missing and was turning around. Trying to get her to wait calmly, we completed our gas
purchase.
But she was not calm and would not hold still. Off she took on foot in shoes that caused her to stumble badly on the soft road shoulders. When she
crossed the highway, we feared she was not looking.
The guys at the gas station were quite amused and we all agreed that her husband was in BIG TROUBLE. We quickly pulled out on the highway and spotted
her husband at the repair shop/vehicle wash place and she was headed that direction.
We stopped to make sure she was OK and told her we were glad he must have noticed her absence. She reached through the window, touched my arm and in
a low voice growled, "Honey, he would only notice if the cat was missing."
We wondered if he had discovered her absence, but didn't stay around to see the fireworks.
We wonder.................

You're most likely right. Pretty hard to drive a motorhome and not notice that the passenger seat is not occupied, unless he has alzheimers, in which
case he shouldn't be driving. She's lucky he didn't leave her at some out of the way desert pee stop, in the middle of the bushes.

That was a great story, makes me wonder how the rest of their adventure turned out? She could have been sleeping in the back of the moho in the first
place, so he didn't think to check before driving away. I wonder why she didn't just use her own bano?
I knew a couple once who were caravaning home from Bahia de Los Angeles. The husband was in the front vehicle, wife and kids following behind. The
wife got a flat tire on the dirt road, never making it into Bahia. Fortunately a fisherman came along and helped her change the tire. She drove on the
spare into town and had the flat repaired.
The husband didn't notice that she wasn't behind him until he reached El Pedregoso, the mountain that is composed of jumbled boulders. It is roughly
50 mi. from the junction to Bahia de Los Angeles.
That's where the wife found him parked, waiting along the side of the road.
 We divorced 5 years ago.

I'm fascinated by El Pedregoso. Can anyone explain the geology and/or has anyone done any exploring there? Is it a volcanic trash heap?

I believe the only plausible explanation is that much looser soil surrounding the boulders eventually eroded away, revealing the boulders.
I think this is what John Minch told me, if memory serves...........which it often doesnt these days.

It's the company we keep, in both 'real' and virtual time/space, that makes this happy hour truly happy, Paulina. So glad you could join us tonight.
Now that you're here... do you prefer those silly blenderized things, or can we go for something good straight up - or with some ice and lime - or
perhaps con damiana? Name your poison - we aim to please.

Tell us what? Why he left her at the Pemex, or what the rest of their trip was like, or why she didn't use her own moho bathroom instead of the
stations (you have to wonder what condition theirs was in if she chose the station over her own), or the meaning of life at El Pedregoso, or how I
like my margarita?
Natalie Ann, On the rocks please, lots of kosher salt. Damiana is good. Light on the tequila though. In the past when I've had a little too much, I
found that I was allergic to it.  I tend to break out in babies.

Just like a tandem bicycle. Wife sits in front. Does all the work. You drink beer.
Just make sure she doesn't turn around.
I'd suggest blinders.

That's too funny, Paulina. But it's got me thinking... now that my son's married, I'm eager to become a grandmother. I need to invite my sweet
daughter-in-law to our little fiesta.

If you use " like" every 5 words also, you could team up with some teens I know.
