Anyone Going to Merida??

We had a cool, cloudy day so we zipped around all day in our car.  But, unfortunately we got on a wrong, one way road going to Merida and had difficulty getting off.  The road kept going on, and on, and on with no returno available.  It seemed like we would have to go about 130km before being able to turn around, and our gas gauge was low!  Mexico!!  But, as we were driving down the highway we noticed places that others used to cross the ditch from one highway to the next.  The two highways were blocked from view due to thick bushes.  So we hunted for a pass we thought we could use.  Some of them, a lot of them, were either to rough, too steep, or too narrow.  We finally found one that looked not too bad.  We rearranged some rocks ( Hoss was worried about ripping the oil pan off the car), planned a route and took out chances.  We rearranged some more rocks, chose a different path and tried again.  Hoss booted it, peeled off some rubber from the tires, and with one wheel off the ground finally made it to the highway.  Good grief!!  That's way out of my comfort zone!!
