From Gaspar Hernandez to Rio San Juan the road has a lot of potholes. Once you get past Rio San Juan mostly smooth sailing.

You can take the mountain road #21 to Sabaneta and then east. Which way would you go?

Your way will work but will take a lot longer.

Didn't when compared.

Your way is fine, but the roads around S.P Mac are not as quick as the way I mentioned. I have been on both and it is quicker the way I mentioned.

When you say compared, are you measuring distance? Or have you tried both ways?

MF,

I have a proposition for you, I will meet you in Santiago, I will take my way and you go your way. Whoever is last pays all expenses for a weekend in Samana or Las Galeras.

You'd lose.

It takes about 3+ hours to get to Saman? from here by the route proposed by M'frog.
You can't bet that by going north and then east.

HB :D:D

Well, as we live here that doesn't really appeal to me much.
HB told you the outcome ....

It's true I have to go to Santiago this week but I as I hate driving you'd compete against my cu?ado at the wheel.
That's just not fair, he's Dominican, a taxi driver and furthermore I don't want to get sick in the back seat.

It's OK, you take your way, I take mine.
If you ever win a race to Saman? drop in and we'll share a beer on the finca...

I confirm it is a lot faster to drive thru San Francisco than to go all the way thru the mountains, and then Gaspar Hernandez...

There's just no competition..
