River Crossing Problem 2010

Rio Huach: This river is located along the Yucatan coast between Mahahual and XCalak, MX. On the locogringo.com aerial photos it shows a bridge, but on google earth it shows there is no bridge. I just confirmed today that the bridge burnt down in 2006 and there is no replacement! We are hiking from the north to south. The nearest settlements/buildings/pueblos are 6 miles north of this river. I called my dad today in a panic, he said not to worry, that he can get us over it. He reminded me that last time we needed to get over an inlet during this hike, he made a raft. I was told that this Rio Huach has crocodiles in it! I hope I see one. I was also told that on the other side of this river there is hotel property where the clothing is optional....when I told my dad this, that was incentive enough for him to get us over. I will keep walking, thank you, once we cross the river. I think we can wait on the north side of this river and wave to someone with a boat to take us across. If anyone else has any great ideas, I'm open to them. It sounds like I will be coming home with yet another story of how we get thru these obstacles.

PS: In 1958, the author Peissel finally found a boat to take him to Belize from Mahahual, so he did not mention this river.
