bad news out of Guerrero

We drove through the cuoata one year ( about 2012?) when the local people had closed and blockaded the pay stations. They explained it was in regard to broken promises about paying tolls for getting to the small side villages affected by the cuota ..we gave them to toll instead..happened in at least 3 of the pay stations. They were polite and we didn't feel obligated to pay them. No violence or burning buses though. I think it is safer being a tourist than being a local...and we don't drive at night or on bush roads.
