yes they are in Moca...but not near downtown...they are very close to the Li Cey Al media border

here is a photo leaving Moca on route 14 heading towards Li Cey al Media

sorry, but I was struck by the amount of garbage..it appears they are using this section as a dunmp...because it stunk to high heaven...and possibly they will cover it when they widen the road....why else would they throw garbage right on the main road??

another shot down a little further

anyone else care to guess why they use this section for garbage dumping here?

here is a phot of moca from the air before we turned north ......tis is mostly land slightly north of the city proper

here is a shot a little earlier...of Moca north west of the city proper......after the plane left STI

which 99 % of the time it takes off towards Moca....then turns 90 degrees and heads north

Thanks Bob for the pics they bring back alot of memories especially the first pic. BTW did they ever fix that hole in the middle of the road. Because last time i was over they were fixing it but then I heard they stopped.

oh yeah it took more than a year...but all of the sudden maybe 3 months ago, they put a lot of work into it....they filled it to within a foot or so of the road height,and it is at least 30 wide feet off the side of the road .......thats a lot of fill!!!!

the problem is the new road surface for the rest of that road is back to being pothole ridden again.......well it was last month..even though they did some cheap dirt re fills in the biggest holes. You know that never lasts.

they had a few motor cycle deaths through that area in the last few months. Maybe thats why the new fill ins

Was that picture of the garbage dump pretty recent? It must be much more closer to Licey than to Moca... maybe they were piling it up to light it on fire.
