North into Sonora

Day 29 – Navohoa to Hermosillo

We easily reached San Carlos by lunch time. I was bit of a disappointment... Not nearly as interesting as the Lonely Planet indicated. They are a couple of trailer parks and lots of restaurants overlooking the gulf, so it would be a good stop if you are travelling this way with a van or trailer.

After lunch we decided to continue on to Hermosillo. Hermosillo is a large city but there is a bypass that saves the hassle of finding your way through the city centre. There is a hotel strip, with a good selection of hotels, on or near the bypass both at the north edge of the city and at the south edge.

We found a nice hotel and over supper we made plans for the remainder of the trip. Linda and I have to make a side trip to San Diego so we are going to continue north on Hwy 15 to Nogales then heading west on I8 to San Diego. Lee is going to take a more leisurely route to Agua Prieta, stay another night in Mexico and meet up with us at the Grand Canyon on Wednesday. From there we will continue north through Moab and back to the truck in Price, UT.
