This what is happening is total manipulation by White French people with money against Black Local French . Add to add to this French St.Martin is part of France and the Local Politicians on French St.Martin never really looked out for their people. Just check Orient area , totally White French people and gated Villas. Well me and Wife started from zero on the Dutch side from 1991 and today we have blessed ourselves with what we have achieved thus far and continue to move forward . God is love.

Road is still blocked at Rancho del Sol.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Lesley--We will never solve white/black issues here and this is not really the place to discuss them.

Dmitry--Frankly I don't think anyone here could tell you whether your vacation will be affected or not. It depends on where the roadblocks are, if any. Renting a taxi is not going to help you if there are roadblocks.

They sell really good maps at the airport. We always have one in the car just in case we need to look for an alternate route. The one we like is produced by Rafal Kasprowski. You can also order one from www.midok.com

If you are staying in OB, there is no alternate road if the blockage is on the N7. You will have to travel via Dutch side.

https://fb.watch/aOjDvRF0sQ/Blocking on the sidelines of Webster case A gendarmerie operation has been happening since this morning on the scene of the dam erected since Monday, blocking all traffic between Grand Case and the Orleans District. First shoveler has been removed. Discussions are underway for the truck. Students waiting to pass both sides.

Google Maps also allows you to download locations for use without cell service or internet. Once you've downloaded the maps, all that's required is your phone's GPS signal, which typically doesn't involve paying for cell service. We had service last month, but we downloaded a map of the whole island just in case.
One thing to remember is that alternate routes based on traffic or road blocks may not be suggested if you're just using the GPS-only feature with downloaded maps rather than the internet. Your phone won't be getting the real-time data but will instead rely on what you've already saved. You could always check routes when you're connected to WiFi, though.

So much for dinner in GC tonight. We're in Orient Village and it was closed this morning preventing us from getting tested at Hope Estate. We took the circuitous route to Bellevue - both were negative. The road had reopened by then, but traffic was still hindered by the crowd at the gendarmerie. We're going home tomorrow to the cold, but won't be back until this and other issues are resolved. I'm tired of road closures.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Biturbo--can't blame you at all. We don't go on vacation, to have to deal with all this stuff.

We love spending the day on Orient. Looks like we take the route through the French Quarter then on to Orleans and up!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Hmmm, if it was me I’d just stay put at BSV or thereabout and avoid the possible aggravation. 🤭🤭
