And no narcos, no Zetas, no hijackings, no roadblocks by organized crime at all?
Nope.
Thanks, Tracy, for posting this travel information. I, too, recently made the trip between Patzcuaro and San Antonio. For those who want a more economical place to stay, there's a no-tell motel (or what some of us call a sex motel) on the north side of Matehuala, not far from Las Palmas but on the opposite side of the road. A private garage and security gate are provided, the rooms are clean and quiet, and the plumbing works. I stayed one night at El Rancho....a bit more expensive and noisy due to road traffic than I would like but I rec'd a discount by eating at the adjacent buffet. The restaurant's food was tasty, and I appreciated the variety.
I tried to post these comments on your blog but wasn't able to.....my laptop just came back from the shop and still has some issues.

Your map and written directions don't match. Did you mean for that to happen? Thanks for all the work you did!!
Right you were, Paty. Fixed that map.
