Carl ROGÉRS - 17 Apr 2007 01:39 GMT Señoras y Señores,
It's what the Worldwide Highway Library is all about... International coverage! So it's really no surprise that Central American coverage has been sitting on her docket for quite some time! While the competition scrambles to cover their home county, city, or American state, *the* Library moves into more untapped arenas. And we're happy that you're here to join us!
Today, Guatemala's Carretera 1 is now on display. Come see the cross-country route as it traverses the outskirts of Guatemala's second largest city, Quetzaltenango. Buses, small cars and roadside-fencing outfit the route that helps provide Mexican motorists w/ a clean window into the rest of Central America.

A gran bienvenido goes to Jorge Morellon, the Chiapas-native who provided the Worldwide Highway Library w/ that magnificent art. There's no doubt his contribution will add excitement to the online highway-gallery that Alexa has *proven* the most popular of its kind for the month of April.
Enjoy! Come join the wave of international exposure.
Cheers,

Woulda been nice to get a closeup on those shields, they look pretty funky. Nice dis of 'the competition'. I don't know about you, but I can't turn a corner in New York without finding something unique, never mind New England, or the other Mid-Atlantic States, or the Midwest(thx to David Backlin). Just what's wrong with covering a county, city or state? Why do you hate America? Think there are no 'untapped areas' here? Think again. I don't 'scramble to cover' things meself, I have plenty of photos in backlog, as do most of my associates. If I quit taking snaps today, it'd take a good YEAR to process and post the backlog. Unfortunately, with two major road projects in the immediate area, and a third cranking up(The Woodbury plaza on the Thruway is going to open road tolling), that's not likely.

Not to mention the Southeastern USA which is woefully under-represented on his page, save for *one* picture from FL, a few from VA (both of which, IMO, should be expelled from the Confederacy, but that's a discussion for other places and times) and a couple from TN.
BTW, wouldn't it have been the height of irony if someone were to have inserted a banana into the exhaust pipe of his car while down there?

Thanks for the candid feedback. Doesn't it make you feel good inside to express yourself? The next time you're in town, let's have a big bear hug... I love you man! ;)

All that B.S. for one photo, a photo in which the road sign is so small as to be unreadable? Can't you batch up your hype, and maybe post only after you have perhaps 10 photos to share? And this wasn't even your own photo...anyone can copy a photo from someone else. The trick to roadgeek site is to get out and see this stuff for yourself. Otherwise, all you are is a poor version of Google Images.

Since you've become part of the "Top 1,500,000" on Alexa, your alternative-style feedback provides an additional glimpse into a hobby that's expanding to an international base. Keep it coming!
Truly, yhe "Top 1,000,000" may be an admirable goal for an open-hearted man who graces us w/ his phone number. I'm rooting for Johnny.
Take care,

Oh, I love Caucasian Americans... They're a fun bunch.
In fact, they're always fun to drink liquor with. Say, how about you and me slam a shot of JD tonight? That way, you can avoid beating your wife for the second time this week! I know you would have done it in the name of Jesus, but I'm willing to have a good time w/ you anyways!

I thought you were a 'republican', but right now you're doing a pretty good imitation of a pissed off 'liberal' a.shole. You need to mind that. I'm sure the 'liberals' don't want the bad publicity. If you can't stand the heat, you should remove yrself from the kitchen, me bucko.

Referring ppl to your Timecube Stylee main page so you get two site hits in a pathetic attempt to ratchet up yr counts? You might note, I post snaps on Google and Flickr.

argatlam_roads@yahoo.com.mx - 17 Apr 2007 22:22 GMT The picture is accompanied by this truly egregious example of odological color-writing:
"Carretera 1, a constituent of the Pan-American highway, swaths an east-west path through the beautiful country of Guatemala. The city serves the country's two largest cities: Quetzaltenango and Guatemala City. Though we're driving on the country's main road, it is recommended to watch for oncoming traffic. Motorists in a hurry are known to cross her center-line and pass others who they feel are too slow. The route encompasses great views of forest lifestyle and the nighttime sky."
Ignoring the incorrect use of "who," what exactly is a "forest lifestyle"? Who "recommends" to watch for oncoming traffic? Motorists pass slower vehicles on a two-lane road = bleeding obvious. The nighttime sky can be seen once a day, practically everywhere.
All this paragraph really tells us is that Ctra. 1 is a two-lane road and connects Quetzalenango to Guatemala City through forested terrain.
For Carl, spam is simply another lifestyle choice.
