I agree with those that believe the Drug Cartels are not a problem for RVers. They do not want to get involved with the problems that would arise from that. Unless you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What we are concerned about are the small crooks and druggies. Just like any other country has.
While we were south this year there were five burgleries in our area. Four of them were of tourist. One was of a local business. All happened within a week. Investigators came from Tepic to try to solve the crimes. Three locals were arrested and the story was two more were at large. A day or two later two bodies were found outside town one body burnt unrecognizable. A few days past that the three were released and were said to be innoscent. No reports in the news nothing. No public resolution. Per the locals the investigation was all for show.
The locals said the Cartel took care of the two outside town. They do not want problems under their jursiction.
QTLA We are planning on entering Mexico next November through Loredo. Maybe we can sit over a cold cerveza and I will gladly spill some of my beans! I know we seem to disagree on most topics but maybe we can have a friendly discussion.
