Our last showers were on Sunday. It\u2019s starting to show. Our optimistic morning selves tell each other that we can set up our shower once we get settled at our next destination, about a 6 hour drive from here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After homemade chilaquiles, we begin our drive back to the Sea of Cortez side of the peninsula. There is one town on our route today where we stop to get groceries, fuel, water, and cash. This town is not a destination and appears to rarely deal with travelers so finding such thing as a campground with showers is totally out of the question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enjoy about two hours on pavement before turning off the highway and on to a narrow, winding rough dirt road that will take us 42km to the coastline. Reviews of this road offer all kinds of warnings. ***Do not take trailers on this road. 4wd required. Steep. Loose rock. Exposed edges. Extremely narrow with no room to pass.*** Luckily a friend of ours had driven the road last month and told us we\u2019d be fine. I\u2019ll take a first-hand account any day over reviews from strangers who\u2019s driving skills are unknown. It turned out to be a gorgeous 2 hour drive. Compared to the backcountry adventure we went on last week and the backcountry roads we\u2019ve driven in the Rockies, this road was nothing outside our wheelhouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We arrived at the beach no less salty than we were this morning, but as we should have known, lacked all motivation to set up our shower. Mark washed his hair and face kneeling beneath one of our water jugs and I made do with some wet wipes. Our standard for cleanliness has to adjust with this lifestyle, if it didn\u2019t we\u2019d be constantly fighting an uphill battle. I can definitely tell you what\u2019s at the top of of the priority list tomorrow though.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls muted src=\"https:\/\/twohappycampers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/012623-AguaVerde.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Thursday.
