Wife and I went to Mobay on Friday and decided to try the back roads route. This would be the Negril- Sav- Mobay road passed Border Jerk. I did a trip report last year saying avoid this route at all costs because of construction. Well, I now have to say, it was a surprising turn of events this trip. We went through Sav to Ferris Cross, turned left up the hill and we were faced with a well paved, wide, clean, almost super highway. It was so very "un-Jamaican", it really caught me off guard. Super, super nice highway from Ferris Cross all the way to Border Jerk, but a few very steep grades. One was 8% for a few kilometers so my little jeep struggled a little. Road turned bad as soon as we passed into Hanover Parish after Border Jerk, but still it wasn't a bad road and got a little better into St. James Parish. It was a good trip to MoBay and would go that route again.
