Montemorelos - What A Great Weekend!!!

It had to happen and I couldn't wait any longer.  I said there would be a surprise this weekend and there was.  We just returned from a weekend RV trip to our resort south of here about an hour.  We social distance from the driveway to the resort and back to the driveway.  It was easy because there is no one out there.  Some people have weekend homes but all of the resort parts are cordoned off including pools, clubhouse, dressing rooms, and showers.  They've turned off the wifi and the water to all the sites except for private homes.   They told us not to plug into anything, keep out of all roped off areas as well.  We did some walking, movie watching, sitting outside and talking and waving as people drove by with their masks on.

We followed the rules and had a relaxing weekend.  I was getting anxious at times being at home.  I've got to get out.  We had a movie night and watched Goldmember for about the umpteenth time, read newspapers and I am trying to finish a book.  

It is a bit eery being out in the middle of nowhere and it is like total abandonment.  However, the workers were all out even this morning (Sunday) keeping up maintenance on the pools and common areas.

One of the nice parts of the trip was that we got to try out the travel trailer after I had turned the hitch over to raise the trailer a notch.  There is still some sag on the SUV, which there has always been but the trailer now sails down the road very level and you feel the difference.  It seems to ride much smoother.   The trailer is now 12 years old and has seen some pretty rough terrain over the years but still holds together.   OTOH, the new fan clutch doesn't seem to do any better than the old one.  It comes on quite a bit and the sound is very, very loud.  It just doesn't seem right.  I think I may, as a last resort, take it to the dealer and see if they can figure it out.

Quite a few rvers have been here with us.  This spot with the eucalyptus trees is where Croft and Norma parked with us one Semana Santa about five years ago.  We had happy hour last night looking up at the trees and reminiscing about old times and good friends.   I really missed being in the RV and this weekend sure did the trick.  Thanks Juan!
