Most RVers don't have the Spanish skills or time to follow what is really happening but instead depend on rumors posted in English. Sometimes it is people who are biased, supporting their friends or families business or just plain ignorance that causes these types of posts. .Here is a independent evaluation from the other side of the world, plus a color coed map that should be easy to understand.
"According to Mexico Pace Index 2015 issued by The Institute for Economics & Peace, based in Sydney Australia, the state of Veracruz is the seventh entity with higher levels of public safety in Mexico."

Ubica The Institute for Economics & Peace a Veracruz como un estado pacífico

I promised myself last year I would keep a low profile on this forum but I can't resist. I agree with the article 100%.

Last fall I posted statistical graphs similar to those in the above link on my blog. Many rvers have a fear of crossing the border thinking it is the most dangerous area and just can't wait to head south. Because they are not familiar with the langauge, travel and stay in small towns, they have little to no access to real world Mexico news.

In the end, it turns out that their fear of border states is unwarranted as many of them stay in the most dangerous areas and don't even know it.

Many people miss out on some of the most beautiful scenery, mountains, lakes and desert because they are in such a hurry to head south.

That's all. :)
