Equipt's "Expedition Mundo Maya"
It's 5:30 A.M. here in McAllen, TX and we are just about to cross over. Time to run the gauntlet! We decided as usual at the 11th our to change our route. Instead of exploring our way down thru the central Sierra Madre mountains we will "Haul The Mail" and make it to Palenque as fast as we can taking some toll roads if needed. If all goes well our first stop will be San Luis Potosi tonight.
"Expedition Mundo Maya" has officially began...:ylsmoke:

Are you going to bypass the Oaxaca coast? You might enjoy strolling the beach at Zipolite

Good to see you guys on the road today. Sorry we couldn't find a good place to stop and talk for a few minutes. I tried to get a photo of your convoy but I was not fast enough. We have your camping spot from last night night in SMA - neighbors said you were well behaved and they didn't hear you leave this morning You guys are going to have a great time! We're already planning a longer trip around the same time at the end of the year..

Great to see you guys too!! your 80 Series was looking sweet!!
We made it to Palenque where our trip really begins. We drove mostly toll roads to get here and did it in 3.25 days. We were hauling the mail to do it. I've never driven my 80 Series so hard, but had to with Paul on my tell in his very fast 100 Series Land Cruiser. We paid approx. $100 US in tolls including the new ARCO NORTE which saved us a ton of time. Now it is time to relax and take some pic's. We will go to the Palenque Ruins this afternoon and will then head to the ruins at Bonapak (I'm sure I'm not spelling these names correctly) tomorrow or the following day.

Nice! Let your adventure begin!
Those friggin' toll roads are expensive but worth it. I am just curious about a few things since I know routes down through the same area. Did you track mileage from the border south? If so what was it? And by driving hard can you tell us how many hours a day driving? For my own purposes I would like to compare your mileage, time and distance to routes I have used.
cheers
