Short cut in Sonoita

Any one remember the bridge that got washed out several years ago. Great short cut to avoid the town. Well the bridge is now rebuilt, in excellent condition, with lights and they have even graded the water bed to allow the water flow below it less likely to rise and go over the new bridge. I hate to say it but it is quite a good looking bridge. Amazing what you discover when you can't travel down to RP for months on end.

FBHarley, That good news, question where do you start that route now. I remember turning off of Highway #2 past the Circle K . Thx

going into town you can turn off to the right before the curve or you can go to the stop sign and instead of turning left and over the large bridge, turn right toward 2 and turn left on your first street

The quicker I can exit that shithole Sonoyta , the better. Yes! If Mexico were to be given an enema, Sonoyta is where you'd put the hose.

no you just avoid the congestion going through town and less police travel that way
That's true but I would be a bit more than worried getting stopped by police or whoever taking that back road shortcut. Being off the main road might be an invitation for even more criminal activity against the 'rich' gringo.

IT IS NOT A BACK ROAD IT IS JUST ANOTHER PAVED ROAD IN THE CITY THAT TAKES YOU AROUND THE BUSINESS SECTION

I think FatBoy is misremembering. It's a horrible godforsaken road that you would NEVER want to dive down in all of your years. You are correct in assuming that it invites more attention which is why you should NEVER use this road. Please keep going the normal way. FatBoy must have smoked too much of that shit... Please do NOT go this way!!! It's horrible!!!! Please continue going through town. Thanks Harley. SMFH. Let's start posting people's GPS marks for fishing too...

the right turn after the big bridge is a good traffic diversion. It's all concrete now, and a smooth way to avoid the congestion. Just go slow.....

We take the other side street. Turn left at the circle K just like as if you were going through town, then turn right after the pharmacia. Very little traffic and very seldom any policia!
