Notas periodísticas

Back when we were touring Mexico in the winter, covering many many kilometers, we collected horror stories. Inevitably the bad thing happened to my sisters friend, a guy we met at a bar, someone who told me, etc.

Twice we actually met the people involved, once in an africanized bee attack and three years ago when Canadian Rainbirds had their tow behind stolen.

The stories we heard were amazing. They were probably based in fact somewhere back, but we know how word of mouth goes.

I like Rob's comment about doing an internet search and getting the information as directly as possible. That's always the best bet because we know if it's on the internet it's true. At least for this kind of thing, it's the bet bet.

I questioned the source for the "Car jacking 15 minutes north of Troncones on HWY 200" because the feeling I got was that it had just happened and was breaking news. Probably not....

Por ejemplo...
Recorrimos la ruta del terror en Guerrero

Turistas temen transitar por la carretera Lázaro Cárdenas -La Unión-Zihuatanejo

Asaltan a 2 familias de turistas en la carretera de Zihuatanejo

Hay más notas si buscas.

Ya que este problema tiene años, es un poco difícil creer que no están enterados los residentes de Troncones. Si fuera yo un turista por lo menos querría saber que los residentes estén enterados y exigiendo que las autoridades pongan las pilas para vigilar mejor nuestras carreteras. Pero si ni enterados están, pues caray, peor aún. Es hora de despertarlos. ¿No lo crees?

Un saludo.
