San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico and points south
Anyone with experience driving from San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico, or even further south? I know there are terrible tales of travel thereabouts but wonder if it is mostly an urban myth.

At the top of the forum for Mexico are "Stickys" telling about insurance and other paperwork required for Mexico travel. Lots of good advice.
We have been traveling in Mexico on and off for many years - since 1971 - the past 10 years or so spending our winters RVing all over Mexico - have been to almost every state in Mexico. Never once have we personally experience crime of any sort nor have we ever been hassled in any way by any type of law enforcement. We are not saying this cannot happen as we do know things do happen no matter where in the world you might travel.
We find much about Mexico that is interesting and even fascinating. Don't let the nay-sayers get to you with their myths about what things are like down here. There are people on this forum who do travel in Mexico all the time and who do know some facts about Mexico. Information is available here - just ask.
