7 febrero Maruata Michoacan

My apologies with the orientation on the photos...

There are many government military vehicles on the roads, going to fight the drug lords. Apparently the northern cartel is trying to take over the south´s territory. Fortunately, the drug people do not attack tourists or Mexicans not involved in the drug trade, though the possibility of accidental casualties exists. We have seen no evidence that our safety is at risk due to drug activity.

They grow marijuana in Michoacan and we saw it for sale aggressively in Maruata.



German cyclist Marcus who was cycling who knows how far south, we think into central america (?)



Mike and his friend Pixel were trying a cycling snowbird itinerary in Mexico, staying for 6 days in Maruata when we came across them.
