Governors align with California clubs to fill a 1000 mile gap between Nogales and Guadalajara. Road is 75 miles long with 60 miles unpaved and travel now takes about three days from San Antonio. Modern hotels and English speaking inns multiply along the route and fuel supplies are ample. Occasional caravans of burros pose the main hazard.
