Driving hwy 200

Oh boy. We drove it literally every year for 30 years until 7 years ago.

The truck drivers are always doomsayers. The area around Culiacan is fuking insane, take the toll roads and you won't get too close, hopefully. We used to often used the Pemex on the toll road just south of there for gas and spending a night. Sure wouldn't now, just get through that area as fast as possible.

There is now a toll road bypass for Guadalajara, worth every penny.

We just discussed it, and we wouldn't cut to the coast until Morelia. That hopefully would get you below the craziness, and the hurricane damaged roads. Yes, the roads will be passable south of PV, but they won't be pleasant. There were several very large storms and a hurricane or two that just nailed that area.

Have fun!
