Well then I guess I better cancel all of my upcoming road trips with my clients, to Alamos, Guerrero Negro Baja, Los Mochis and the Copper Canyon, Chihuahu City, etc because the Government warned me.....The general consul in Nogales told me that these warnings are written to the lowest common denominator of travelers.
Russ... you live in Mexico (or Mexico, light, anyway). Speak Spanish. Have friends and relatives there. Have been there for years. You're certainly not the average RVer who is reading this forum with thoughts of trying Mexico out. As I said once before, if you understand the culture you can mitigate the risks.You, and some others, understand the culture...
I lived and worked in Mexico, have a son born in Guaymas, and speak Spanish fluently. But it's been over 30 years since I've spent time in Mexico and I'm 71 now. I look more like a victim now than I did then. And I don't have family in Mexico or friends who can mobilize a small group to come help.
Ten years ago I would have been on your side... but I'm seeing the other side now. And I'm not so sure you're qualified to advise them on how safe it is down there. I think you see it through different eyes.
