Oct. 15
Got up at ~6:30 A. Drove on
southward on Hwy. 190. Stopped in
Tamaulipan for breakfast. This
seemed like a very pleasant little
town and the breakfast was good. Got
on at the Sonax. Continued on and
passed thru Yanuitlan. Here there
was a beautiful, large cathedral dating
back to about 1523. Arrived in
Oaxaca at noon and checked into
the Hotel Margarita, (350 pesos for
a room for two.) Left Oaxaca and
went a little south before turning
northeast on Hwy. 175 to make
our way up to Cerro Don Felipe.
At what appeared to be the highest
place the paved road went, we
turned left into a dirt road which
took us on up the mountain. We
celebrated at four stations:
1) Cerro Don Felipe, 9.7 km. NW
La Cumbre, Oaxaca, Mex., 3010 m.
