Road report to Oaxaca We had to wait in Carrizo Springs, TX for a package to come in the mail so got a later start than usual plus having to drive further than we normally do from the Texas Welcome...

Yes - there is now a big Xray machine at Columbia Crossing - and they do not make it easy to get in and out. We did our paperwork early coming across NM south of Deming where there is never a line. But still got held up at Columbia with a snoopy cabinet looksee and then the Xray. The Xray takes awhile as someone somewhere inside has to study the Xray for 15 minutes or so before they let us go.
Though the road is bumpy we were able to keep up to 55 - 60 mph most of the way.
Here is a closer look at the route over to Dolores from 57 and then 51 down to SMA. 110 is not great but not bad - mostly it is narrow with no shoulder. 51 is one of the roads that was completely rebuilt down to dirt a few years ago - widened and leveled - good road - happy to get off 57. 57D is basically fine from Queretaro on down. Going out of SMA 51 to Celaya is also all new and 111 to Queretaro is all new.
