MEXICOWANDERER
May 03, 2014Explorer
I get email every day "How about Patzcuaro?" "How about passing through Morelia down 14-D to Mex 200 then to Zihuatenjo".
There are ONE HELL OF A LOT MORE AREAS TO STEER CLEAR OF than tierra caliente. Do you know where is El Infiernillo? Or Cuatro Caminos? Any state bordering Michoacan stay 50 miles away unless on a cuota or major highway.
News media? Government? Cartel yellow journalism sites? Wonderful if you like partial information.
The rats are fleeing as you say. Of course as they flee Michoacan, they will grab their cameras, spray paint and burros and start taking tourist+burro zebra photographs for a living or wash windows in intersections.
Lucky for tourists a lot of this will iron out before next winter. But there are perhaps 5,000 ex-templario sicarios "looking for work" all over Mexico right now. This information is not from my imagination. We talk about this every day. Old Michoacaneros know how things operate. They talk, I listen.
