The roads were almost always bad in spots, but they've been the worst
I've ever seen them the past few years. I remember driving
substantially faster back in the '70s than we do now. There are only 3
or 4 ejidos still logging so the roads get minimal maintenance. Until
the '90s I didn't have a 4-WD
The roads were terrible and the first day they were wet! Bill Sherborne's van

they were better then... Most everything looks
