You bet. Maybe what I wrote sounds too much like camping is superior to luxury RV living. No. It is a choice with the only "con" being the real cost of taking Park Place with you.
Copper Canyon is flat out dangerous for visitors who warder just a little off the well trodden gringo trail. 99% of visitors choose to stay on the (very rewarding) visitor activity corridors but as to rockhounding unh unh. This would be an awful way to end up in the Vanished Without A Trace, list.
Remote, yes. But the carteleros have learned paying innocent tarahumara indians to haul chemicals into remote canyons guarantees security. And people who don't exist anymore cannot return and start asking questions about furtive fentanyl laboratories. or remote poppy patches. I live down here and I know the rumors which are distressingly accurate. Even Mex 14-D between Lazaro Cardenas and Morelia is not to be traveled when the military is not actively patrolling.
Rockhounding, nature walks, fishing, hunting are all outdoor activities. Pulling up to a power pedestal, hooking up and then drawing the drapes, isn't. That goes into the same category as spending three weeks in Mexico and bragging..."We brought everything never needed to shop". I've overnighted at RV campsites where I've asked about deserted looking rigs and was answered with "Oh, they almost never come outside".
"Never! Don't want to get sick"
"Too many bugs"
"Too much noise"
"We travel with four other rigs"
"You want ME to eat something from an outdoor kitchen? (taco stand)?
