That route does not skirt the state of Tamaulipas. Which you are in from Tampico North. I think the safety concerns are exaggerated. Something bad can happen anywhere. Just because something bad happened at one place doesn't mean it will happen at that location again. And just because it was safe once doesn't always make it safe.
Oh - I see. It looks like it goes through the edge of Tamaulipas from Matehuala to Saltillo.
Too many choices :) I agree that because something happened once, doesn't mean it will happen again and vice versa. I also don't expect something to happen as we drive (flat tire maybe?) but recognize that it could. As well as it could before we leave Belize or after we enter the US.
It would be nice to take the shorter route. Since we won't be towing a trailer this time, the roads being a bit lower quality shouldn't be a big issue.
Putting yourself in our place, what route would you personally take? (Not saying we will or won't, just asking for a direct opinion).
Do you do much or anything about carrying cargo etc into the states from Mexico or Belize? Just curious. we will be shipping some household things back if we find reasonable shipping, but I think that may need to be a different thread.
Thanks
