Gribblenación México; Jalisco State Highway 335 to Santa Ana de Guadalupe

By

Jalisco State Highway 335 is a short 2-kilometer route located in the Municipality of Jalostotitlán.  The highway originates at Jalisco State Highway 304 and terminates at the village boundary of Santa Ana de Guadalupe.  Jalisco State Highway 335 was likely added to the State Highway system to facilitate religious tourism following the following the canonization of Saint Toribio Romo González in 2000.




A drive along Jalisco State Highway 335 to Santa Ana de Guadalupe

Santa Ana de Guadalupe was not originally served by the Jalisco State Highway System.  The addition of Jalisco State Highway 335 appears to be fairly recent and likely was commissioned to help facilitate religious tourism (see more below).  The 2-kilometer highway originates at Jalisco State Highway 304 and terminates at the Santa Ana de Guadalupe village boundary.  


Traffic wishing to access Santa Ana de Guadalupe can access the community by exiting from Federal Highway 80D onto Jalisco State Highway 304 southbound towards San Miguel el Alto. 


From Jalisco State Highway 304 southbound traffic can turn east on Jalisco State Highway 335 towards Santa Ana de Guadalupe at Arco de Santo Toribio Romo.  Jalisco State Highway 335 contains no on-route reassurance signage. 


Traffic can follow Jalisco State Highway 335 into the village of Santa Ana de Guadalupe.  Santo Toribio is used as a control point for the community.  The State Highway terminates at the village boundary. 







The village of Santa Ana de Guadalupe has approximately 300 residents and is located in the Municipality of Jalostotitlán.  Santa Ana de Guadalupe is most known as the birthplace of Saint Toribio Romo González in 1900. Saint Toribio Romo González was killed near the town of Tequila on February 25, 1928, during La Guerra Cristera (Cristero War). Saint Toribio Romo González is popular amongst migrants traveling to the United States and in general with Catholic travelers. Tourism to Santa Ana de Guadalupe began to thrive following the canonization of Saint Toribio Romo González in 2000.

What's In a Name?: When the Roads Really Do Tell a Story

By
  Our tagline on the Gribblenation blog is "because every road tells a story". Some roads tell different stories than others. Along our travels, we may see historic markers that tell us a little story about the roads we travel or the places we pass by. Some historic markers are more general, as to telling us who lived where or what old trail traversed between two towns. During my travels across New York State and other states or provinces, I pass by many historic markers, some with interesting or amusing references to roads. I wanted to highlight a few of the markers I've seen along my travels around the Empire State and help tell their stories. Those stories may be as specific as explaining the tales of a tree that was used to help measure a distance of eight miles from Bath to Avoca in Steuben County, as referenced on the Eight Mile Tree historical marker above. They may also help point the way along historical roads first used centuries ago, or may help tell a local l...

May 2023 Ontario Trip (Part 3 of 3)

By
  Over the years, I have made plenty of trips to Ontario, crisscrossing the southern, central and eastern parts of the province. Living in Upstate New York, it's pretty easy to visit our neighbor to the north, or is that our neighbor to the west? Ottawa is one of my favorite cities to visit anywhere in the world, plus I've discovered the charm of Kingston, the waterfalls of Hamilton (which is on the same Niagara Escarpment that brings us Niagara Falls), the sheer beauty of the Bruce Peninsula, and more. But I hadn't explored much of Cottage Country. So I decided to change that, and what better time to go than over Memorial Day weekend, when the daylight is long and I have an extra day to explore. On the third and final day of my trip, I started in Huntsville and made my way through Muskoka District and Haliburton County, passing by many lakes along the way. I stopped in towns such as Dorset, Haliburton and Bancroft before making a beeline down to Belleville and then over th...

2018 Mojave Road Trip Part 2; The deadly desert highway (California State Route 127 and Nevada State Route 373)

By
After leaving Barstow via Old Highway 58 my next destination was in Death Valley.  To access Death Valley from rural San Bernardino County required a trek on north on Interstate 15 to California State Route 127 which becomes Nevada State Route 373 at the state line. Along I-15 I encountered the road sign oddity that is Zzyzx Road about eight miles south of Baker.   Zzyzx Road is a four mile road that used to go to the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa.   The spa was founded in the 1940s and the owner made up the name "Zzyzx" to claim it was the last word in the English Language.  The spa has been shut down since the 1970s and is now part of a Desert Studies Center for California State University. The southern terminus of CA 127 in Baker is located at I-15 exit 246.  CA 127 is a 91 mile north/south highway which runs to the Nevada State Line in Inyo County.  CA 127 is called Death Valley Road from I-15 northward.  South of CA 127 ...
