Since the Tropicana Campground wasn\u2019t in operation and it was very buggy parked in the grass we decided that one night was enough and left at 6:30 AM. They have been continually straightening and widening MX-180 to a full what they call a 4 lane road. It is really a 2 lane road with 2 wide shoulders that are used for slow vehicles. About 16 mi south of Soto de Marina there are 3 construction zones in a 5 mi section. After that you are back to the old road which is not that bad. At the rate they are improving the road they may be finished from MX101 to MX80 by 2013. The 65 mi they have already completed is a really nice smooth wide fast road.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have never taken MX80 West of Gonzalez through Ciudad Mante. It is a beautiful fast drive all the way until you take MX85 to Ciudad Valles, that road is a little narrower but not that bad so we made good time even with a few stops along the way we got to our destination at 1:00 PM. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Driveway\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We located Don Roy for the gate key and the caretaker Margarita who rode with us down Grant Amaral\u2019s driveway. For my kayaker friends, it was narrower, steeper and bumpier than Rockville road. <\/span><\/p>\n

I hit my kayak rack on a overhanging tree limb and I had to reinstall the floor flange to the roof. I hope the Shoe Goo that I used to reseal everything works OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

The camp is right on the Rio Micos, a beautiful setting with Turquoise water flowing over limestone water falls.<\/span><\/p>\n

WE took a little walk along the river, Peggy finds a friendly duck that wants to follow her.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is marginal cell service here for my internet to work here, so you may get this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how we will manage to get out of this place, <\/span><\/p>\n

Our next destination is the Emerald Coast North of Veracruz.<\/span><\/p>\n
