Driving home.

We drove home on Tuesday. Had to. We have to get to South Carolina to help Crys' dad get settled before he leaves the country for work.

We left the room at about 5:45 AM and hit the road in the dark. Not too bad really. I'll copy in the notes I took down on the way home. That's probably the most representative way to do it.

"Left Guaymas at 5:45 AM

Tolls: Hermosillo bypass 113 Pj (only one toll going back)

Military check point between Hermosillo and Nogales. Around 112 KM mile marker. Just asked if we had guns. 

Free bathroom at travel plaza right before Santa Anna. Crystal says it might be gross. 

Turn in visitor visa at the same office at KM21. You have to cross the highway 

Got to border in Nogales at 11:15. That town is a clusterfuck. Border check was fine, just looked through the trunk.

Got through border at 11:40

Headed out through the Arizona hinterland. Got stopped at a random border patrol check point. Funny, the Mexicans don’t want us to have guns and the Arizonans don’t want us to have Mexicans. 

Home at 11:32 PM

Total miles  957"

IT was a pretty good drive really. Took around 18 hours and we were home. I only did one General Lee off the side of an on ramp to make the proper turn in Nogales. We were pretty wiped when we got home.
