Bridge out between Melaque & PV

[Tequila]

Can anyone who has driven this stretch since it happened about a week ago let me know what the detour route is like for RV's. Buses are getting through supposedly.

don't even think of using the san blas route. Its in real bad shape

Rode my motorcycle from Melaque to PV the other day and it was OK. Bumps where there is construction other wise all is good.

A quick update. I came north through the detour yesterday abut 1200 headed back to Perula. They had just finished putting down a seal coat layer on the road. They were setting up to put down another layer. Should be a minor inconvenience from now until the bridge is replaced.

Talked to a 5th wheel who came south yesterday, I am headed up it today.

This outage ocured about 1 KM south of Emilio Zapata at about KM 38 going towards Melaque on Hwy 200. Went over the bridge about 15 minutes before it failed in a torrential rain storm. The road was reopened within 24 hours. Typical down it the creek bed and back up detour. Went through it on Thursday both ways with my Sprinter Van. Class A should have no problems unless it is raining as the detour is not paved yet. This is similar to the washout at the turn off to Boca de Iguanas last year. I'm willing to bet it is completely repaired before April 1 st.

Took it last week, no problems.

I don't think it is the cost of fuel. Something has happened to the baby boomer demographic, I even think the Snowbird population in S USA is getting older instead of younger. Those born after 1947 should be increasing numbers ,but the numbers are going down here in Mexico, and is my sense of about S USA correct?
These Mexican RV parks are getting more of the new middle class Mexican campers and will probably survive , one would hope.
The RV lifestyle of exploring Mexico is marvelous and something I will cherish always. If God allows me to continue coming down here , I will always be interested in checking out the RV parks and the folks using them.
Keep on RVing Paul, your efforts on behalf of RV ers is very commendable and good for Mexico.

Thanks for your insight.

Only few here right now, should pick up by Jan, but nothing like the glory days. We ill be bringing a caravan into here in March which should help their bottom line. Biggest issue is fuel prices in Mexico, once the deregulation of Pemex is done, prices should drop. I hope.

If Primera Plus can make that trip I can't see an RV having a problem
