Things changing for the better
Way back in 2005 and 2006 my wife and I traveled to just about every place in Mexico that one would want to go and reported on it here in what I am told was the longest thread ever at this board with ...
Forum Discussion
I have experienced car bombings, black helicopters flying over our Mexican plants several times.
Very interesting. In 42 years of visiting Mexico and spending at least 4 months in Mexico for each of the past 7 years I have never ever once seen any of these things you mention - bombing - gunships - whatever. Are you sure you were in Mexico and not Honduras or Guatemala? You must be going to the wrong places or simply not paying attention to where it is safe to go. You need to research a bit more before you go so you can avoid these places. We do not go near the border other than the day we cross. And I would not go to Detroit for any amount of money.
It is not a disservice if those with real knowledge of traveling by RV in Mexico provide information to try to help those who are interested in going. We can tell people how to travel safely. You provide a disservice by providing false information and talking about a specific place you have been that many RVers and tourists would never visit for any reason. Tell us where you claim to have seen these things so we can be sure to avoid these areas. You say Laredo Nuevo - no idea what or where that is - possibly you mean Nuevo Laredo or maybe Nuevo Leon??? Have you really been there and don't even know where you are? We have good friends in Nuevo Leon who have never seen the things you mention. We do not go to either Laredo or Nuevo Laredo or most of the other border towns. We know better - as those who read this forum would also know. You do a disservice by claiming that all of Mexico is like or similar to some nasty border town you claim to have been to - but don't seem to even know the name of the town.
OH! By the way - I do not personally know about Detroit - but have been in many US cities where we see many police helicopters flying around all the time. We see news reports on TV with police helicopters flying around US cities all the time. Maybe look up in the air sometime and you will see them too. Car Bombings? You seriously have not seen a report of a car bombing in the US???!!! PLEASE. You have got to be kidding!!!
