morrisstep@aol.com Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Eighteen months ago we enjoyed a great trip to San Carlos, Mexico, with the Tucson Drifters, a local FMCA chapter. We were about 16 coaches, traveling in two convoys an hour apart. We had no unpleasant experiences in Mexico except for the traffic jam returning north across the border at Nogales. One of the two border crossings was badly delayed because the other crossing point was at the termination of the toll road and a major accident had closed the toll road, rerouting everyone to the one downtown crossing point. A motorcycle police saw our situation and asked the lead coach if we would like to follow him across town to the nearly vacant crossing. We all fell in line and were across the border expeditiously. The town and the beaches were beautiful, the people were gracious and with our wagonmasters, who had until recently owned a condo there and knew 'everyone', we were never strangers in their country. No one can predict the level of safety that we or anyone else can expect in any part of Mexico, but the old adage applies: Don't drive at night, don't get drunk, don't be an 'ugly American', and of course, NEVER carry a gun or ammunition into Mexico. It is a beautiful country and wonderful people, but somewhat spoiled by the dope traders. So go at your own risk but don't be overly frightened by the reports coming out of Mexico. The vast majority of problems concern only those who are directly connected to the drug trade. Morris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted November 1, 2009 Dianne and I have spent 6 winters in Mexico in our coach and have never had a problem. We enjoy experiencing another culture as well as the great food and people. As suggested, the violence in the press is focused on those in the drug business.

Has anyone had any experiences with safety or warnings? We traveled to mexico last year, no problems other than that part at the border.. Too many people there. Loved it way down in Hermasillo.

eddie.leblanc@yahoo.com Report post Posted July 30, 2010 You may want to send a memo to the Tracks RV Tours people and ask about the current safety levels in Mexico. Tracks has suspended all their Tours to Mexico. And since they are cenetred in El Paso Texas, that was a large portion of the out of the country tours for them. http://www.trackstoadventure.com/ I know that they are constantly monitoring the situations there, in order to resume their tours into Mexico. But I'm sure they should be able to pass on any information they have. Eddie LeBlanc '92 Beaver Marquis '98 Honda V6 EX Toad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
