Dear Fellow FMCA members,
We plan to drive our motorhome from our home here in Lake Charles LA - to Phoenix where we will pick up friends who have flown in from Wisconsin - then travel south to Lukeville and enter Mexico there. We then drive west to our Mayan timeshare in P. Penasco, whci actually keeps us pretty much inside the 25 mile free zone. We park the motorhome and stay in the condo for a week then drive back home.
We did this identical trip two years ago and had a great time with absolutely no problem. One day we drove the motorhome into the town, had lunch, bought shrimp etc etc without a problem.
We now are hearing all the State Department alerts (admittedly mostly to Spring Breakers and about some of the more notorious towns) but are really questioning the wisdom of our plans.
Have any of you been along the route lately? Any feedback would be appreciated. We have friends in Phoenix who keep us updated with the local info and feel very strongly we should cancel. Our Wisconsin friends would have to forfeit their airline tickets which of course is certainly a valid option should we so decide.
Thanks to all for a reply.
Mickey & Cliffe
