Sometimes in rural primitive areas which are common in S.W. China where a LOT of interesting herps are found it's extremely difficult to get in and out of areas. In a modern country like Belize you can only get to Caracol in the dry season even though there's an airstrip in addition to a very BAD road. I've driven there after starting in San Ignacio and it took me 8 hours to get there in the dry season. We had rain and literally slid darn near off the mountain at one spot. I had to fix my cable on the winch on the front bumper to pull myself and my Izuzu Trooper back on the road. Anyone who's ever been to truly primitive areas and rough country knows this. A hundred mile trip might take days in some places under certain conditions so that just doesn't make sense. Try driving the 50 miles from Punta Gorda to Barranco in Belize and see how long it takes . China is a modern country with high tech stuff ONLY IN SOME AREAS. Some areas are damn near impossible to get in and out of. Ernie why don't you take a trip and do one your self and see how easy it is rather than imagine everythings easy.
