Our State Secretary of Tourism Lic. Juan Tintos Funcke has spoken to the State Secretary of Comunications, Ramon Luke, and he has assure that by this coming friday the highway will be ready for transit.
The further process of remodelation of the highway will continue after Easter Break.
It is important that you know that our State Governor has made a great effort for the safety of travelers.
Please if you will be so kind to pass on the news.

You never know, David. Sometimes, the go-arounds can still be a real challenge. :lol:

On Thursday I came down and drove on about a quarter mile of the new pavement. I saw that most of it was paved, but with only the first layer of blakctop so It will take a bunch more work later to finish it. All but 2 culverts were finished and both of them were done but the road not done over them. It'll be pretty good for a few days till we have to go around again for the finishing touches.

Time to do the Pole Line Road? How about search for the Lost Diaz Grave? Of course, that is after we find the Lost Mission of Santa Isabel!:bounce:

Drove down Sat. and there was only about 1/4 mile of by pass the rest of the pavement was open. 5mex in good shape.
Weather perfect.

We just came back from SF. We didn't have to detour, stayed on the hwy all the way. On the way down we were detoured off twice.

And how did you do in the race? Was around the Start/Finish but didn't see you there, then got involved changing a motor in a 14 car.
