Awesome. Definitely a bucket list type trip I have to make. I'm still not 100% sure, permitting schedule, but trying to work things out now.

Anyone have room to carpool? Don't want to drive into Mexico by myself.

Hahahaha. And taking a safety precaution in mind while traveling through a different country by myself with $$ in gear is such a far-fetched idea....

Putting aside the racist comment of "it is not Middle East", there are good reasons that you should be concerned about.

There are a lot people that are killed in Mexico due to drug issues. Heck the gangs in LA kill people. So violence is not exclusive to Middle East. It can happen anywhere.

In my case it was the lack of language that I was most concerned about.
You are in a different country. The rules maybe different. The road side service can be at best far from where may need it, if there are any.

I was in the same "kayak" as you are, until I carpooled with Bob on my first trip.

For the second trip, I drove, but again in caravan with Bob leading the way.

I now feel more comfortable, but I still would not do it alone.

You can caravan with the group. It is pretty safe drive, especially in a large group.

Yes. This is what I was anticipating on. But if I have my "ins", I should be fine though. 😉

I do agree with you that violence happens everywhere. Sorry about the mid east reference maybe that was a bad analogy. And I do agree that it may take a couple times to be more comfortable. But most of the citizens down there are good people and would help you change a tire, a repair, etc. Many people have a negative connotation about mexico as a whole, and the reality, is the Cartels are the ones who give it the bad name. Obviously I have spent more time in the US then mexico, but I worry more about my vehicle getting broken into in the US than I do in baja.

yellowtail you say? no there's no stinking yellowtail in mexico.

I remember my last trip with Bob catching close to 25 of them in one day, my arms were about to fall off.

He had to be "that guy". There's always the tool who puts their 2 cents in.

And yes. Very valid points. I use to travel to Mexico several times out of the year before the cartel madness. Yes, it's slowed down, but I still haven't been there (on land) in 8 years.

Traveling with someone is the ONLY way to have some peace of mind when traveling into a different country. Oo, not to mention the 700+ miles trek to and from Gonzaga.
