Mexico Maps

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

http://www.expedia.com  is a good place for Mexican maps.

Also another good place for maps is in the "links" section.

go to the home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ranchos

on the left side of the page is a bunch of areas of the group with 
additional information.
look at the "files" look at the "links" look at the fotos "just me and 
the wife in this area"
click on links

click on the bottom link called "Maps of Mexico"

go down the page to where it says "state maps"

scroll down to Jalisco

click on the map section that has the large lake on it.

look next to Ocolotlan and you'll find Jamay.

areas of the group let me know. We'll work on it together if you like.
