I\u2019ll bet it saves an hour. We got to camp on the Emerald Coast at Neptuno Campground at 11AM. Cost was still 150 p\/n.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;\">We took a nice one hour beach walk. It looked like the storms took out most of the beach access stairs from the small hotels and campgrounds in that area. We had a big steak dinner to celebrate our journey so far, forgetting about our RV problems, that we can fix some other day. G<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;\">ot on the road just before 7 AM on Monday morning. Just past Nautla they are paving the road and there must have been an early morning truck accident. We sat there for 20 minutes then got back up to speed. Most of the south bound lane has been resurfaced all the way until the 4-lane starts by Cardel. It\u2019s the best I have seen this road in years. Took only 2 hrs. from Nautla to Cardel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;\">They finished the bridge on the east side of Vera Cruz, so if you are heading toward the Tuxtla\u2019s you won\u2019t miss the turn to Alvarado on MX180. The drive to Catemaco took 6:45 min with a one hour stop to shop in the nice Soriana in San Andres Tuxtla.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;\">So here we are a few days early at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gaudis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tepetapan Campground<\/a> and dreaming of Gene\u2019s big Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. There is only one other camper here right now, a couple from Switzerland who shipped their rig to Brazil and have been on the road for the past 4 years. They are also heading to the Yucatan.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See Map 4 We got started on Sunday morning at 7 AM, the road was fair until the Alamo turnoff.
