Hurricane Agatha

 The first of June, Hurricane Agatha hit the shores in Oaxaca State.  We were in Oaxaca City which is 6 to 7 hours from the beach area Hurricane Agatha came on shore.  On Saturday, June 4th, Frank at Don Taco's Campsite at San Agustin said all was fine, no destruction in this area, so we headed to Don Taco's beach camp.  Frank told us to stay on Highway 175.  Using GPS we were off and going.  Well about 4 hours GPS told us to turn left.  Being the navigator I did not pay attention this new road was not Highway 175.  These pictures are from this road that we turned left onto.
