why I don't give out GPS coordinates to just anybody.
I learned that some of the rural areas were badly in need of some things after getting to know the areas a little. So I did what I could to help them.
Anyone who has spent any time with the folks in the back country know they are some of the friendliest folks on the planet. They certainly don't
need to be bribed to make new friends as long as you are honest rather than kissing up.
As far as my sharing the locations of these places, I am afraid that if I shared them with people I don't know, one of their children, or even they
may just start throwing rocks at their cars after drinking or drugging.
I would feel like chit if I felt responsible for sending these type gringos to see my friends in these places. Ain't gonna happen!
If I have met you personally and like you, I will be glad to share my GPS coordinates with you. And if you are able, please take some donations to
these people. Not everyone sees it as bribery, just offering what you are able. It pays off in the heart and stomach, that's all.
