Susie and Peggy went to Mazatlan to drop another 3 kittens that were dropped off at the camp site to the animal shelter. us boys on the way home the rain came down so hard I had to have the windshield wipers on full power to see the road plus all pot holes were full a little tricky driving through them. The girls on their way to the animal shelter got soaked (open air taxie pulminia) and of course a little damage at the camp when we got back on site (no sunset today)
