I would love to help out but I will already be in Gonzage with EOD.
The best bet i to pull to the left after you pass the inspection and get the FMM. It won't be crowded at that time in the morning.

Monstahfish and I are joining discover baja and will get a prepaid FMM. We still have to stop and get it stamped. I imagine it won't take long.

We will get it figured out. I know if you do not have the FMM they can send you back to the border to get it, but if you have it and it is not stamped, they will have their money and probably not really care? Don't know. And it will be early and traffic might not be a factor. We will make it happen.

If we are going from the 17 to the 24, that is seven days and we shouldn't need to pay, correct? I believe you only have to pay if you are going to be there more than seven days. Anyone know more about this?

17-24 is eight days, not seven. A week plus one.

It seems we have to get the FMM regardless if it is free or not.

I personally would not risk doing anything out of procedures.

Remember it is a different country, and they have their own way of doing business.

I see one other option.

At the shell station meeting, put everyone who needs FMM in the same vehicles.

Drive on US highways and go through Mexicali.

Meet at 10 miles pass border and swap passengers.

That way maybe less cars would have to stop for FMM.

Changing trucks at Johnny's Shell seems like a great idea. That should work.

Glad you liked and approved it.

I knew I was good for something.

Just did not know what.
