Since Puerto Peñasco is not technically a border town, it doesn't have the same issues as Tijuana or Juarez does. My brother has a trailer in a permanent spot in a park in Rocky Point and travels down every month or more often. He's never encountered any problems except bad drivers both in Arizona and Mexico. Obey the speed limits, watch for drivers passing in "No Passing" (No Rebase) zones, and just pay attention to your surroundings. If the Spring Break idiots are around, you'll have to watch out for them too! Also, it there are lots of visitors in Mexico when you go, if you leave the area when they do, there's safety in numbers but there maybe a long wait at the US Customs and further up the road at the Border Patrol checkpoint. If you or your friends don't feel comfortable going, pick a nice park in Arizona to visit like Buckskin Mountain State Park or Karchner Caverns. Good luck, Mel
