The map doesn't show that access point. The sharp right turn to the route at the bottom would be by the Library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Hampton Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Went into Boquete this afternoon to film the Gran Cabalgata scheduled for a 2:00 start (always a moving target). This year's horse parade included several Presidential candidates who wanted to 'meet and greet' the locals. Apparently too much 'glad-handing' occurred in Dolega which was the cause of our delay and by 4:00 the light levels were pretty much gone so I packed up. Still no start at 4:15 - - - a great sunny day lost. T I P Edited November 25, 2018 by John R Hampton Destogance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 The start of the cabalgata was delayed when an older fellow collapsed and died in the street. He was a retired SENAFRONT captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Hampton Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yesterday turned into a long day for a lot of people. The very sad spectator death occurred around the time the Gran Cabalgata finally started at about 4:30 and added a further delay to the parade. By the end of the day I had to lead a group of riders returning home up Volcancito Road in the dark with a vehicle & flashing caution lights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
