OAXACA TO PUEBLA MOUNTAIN DRIVING

Today we crossed 225 miles of high mountains of central Mexico. The destination campground is in a suburb of Puebla named Cholula.

The campground is a private 1 square block walled compound that contains open fields, apartment building, and at least two private homes. The owners drive Mercedes Benz cars and have beautiful homes. Their children have plenty of yard activity equipment.

This is the GPS track.


Here is our house at an altitude of about 8000 feet and speed of about 60 mph following behind us in the central Mexican mountains. The right CB antenna of the pair is showing.


Wubi is a great RVer. He has a commanding view of the landscape from all the cabin windows.


We passed beautiful - and dry - mountain landscapes.

Here is ahead of us one of several high curving bridges.


Mexico transports by semi. Here is one of the many heavy "doble remolques" - double semis.


One of several long tunnels in the mountains.


The landscape is arid.


As we approach Puebla we see more population. Here is a young shepherd and his goats.
