This post is a forward from Jim Cornell:
I was informed by my caretaker that he was robbed last weekend. He was driving on the new road behind 99 (that has the "s" turns). As he approached one of the curves, there were trees placed across the road which forced him to stop. When he did, the robbers approached the vehicle with a gun and demanded his money ($170) and cel fone. He gave them what he had but were agitated that he did not have more. At that moment, another car came along and the robbers ran away. He reported the incident to the police, but they were unable to locate the culprits.Fortunately, no one was hurt
The new road is very convenient to use to avoid the mess at la dona, but at night it is a very convenient spot for robbers because there is so little traffic. Taking the main route from 99 and past Fucer at night has much more traffic and less potential for problems like this. Always be mindful of your surroundings when driving at night.
