After leaving Zacatacas we headed East towards Rio Verde, were we spent another night in a Pemex station. Fortunately this one was out of the way from EVERYTHING and nice and quiet... In srarting this morning we took the "Free Road" East looking for Tamasopo which is a location that turned out to be STUNNING... Our first turn off of the main road "promised" us a "waterfall"... well that turned out to be a great drive to no where but a railrcrossing and a tight place to turn around. What's another 10 K and return??? We knew that if we were going to see a waterfall, we had to find the right "left". Another 8 K down and up this narrow and winding "free road (with tree branches close to taking our roof off) we again turned left, through a great little village and finally arriving at the Tamasopo Falls... This turned out to be one of the most spectacular sights we have ever seen.. Absolutely AMAZING !!! The roadway getting us there was truly one of 30 mph max ( and those that have followed or led me know that that is NOT my average speed) because of the narrowness and tight corners on this high tropical folaged road. Our day pass and parking was a total of 40 pesos ($2.40). Entering the parking area and seeing just a couple of th MANY SPECTACULAR waterfalls stunned me, I just couldn't believe my eyes. I only hope that my pictures do it justice (Doug you just have to photograph this location, and so doing it the way YOU do, plan on at least 2 FULL Days) ... Tonight we find ourselves in Cuidad Vallias, or should I say we're about 5 miles west camped in a Balneario (hot springs area with 2 lightly smelling sulfer sulpher swiming pools). As we drove through the gates we were amazed to find 21 additional RV's already here. It is a caravan from French speaking Ontario, Canada (a couple speak a little English hut the others, not much at all).
