And for a quasi-ignorant question... do u think its safer to cross from California or Texas?
Edited: and by that I mean that my maps are giving me two different ways to get to Chiapas... do u think diagonal across the country from CA or across and down from TX would be better?
Well, there are other considerations. Those would be two entirely different trips. You need to decide whether you want to do the coastal towns (from Cal -Tucson and down) or choose between the central highlands or the gulf coast (from El Paso, Laredo or Brownsville). Strictly our preferences, but we would choose the west coast or central highlands routes over the east coast for places of interest. The central highlands are rich in culture with beautiful Spanish designed colonial cities. The ideal trip would be to go down the west coast and come back up through the central highlands beginning in Oaxaca (the state next to Chiapas) and ultimately exit at Juarez/El Paso. You will see many amazing places along the way.
Another interesting option which we have done is to go down Baja to La Paz and take the ferry (accepts RVs) to Topolobampo on the mainland and continue on down the west coast.
Rather than re-write much of what I have already written, you might want to navigate through this thread to find all of the places mentioned above. RV.net has retained this thread and we are grateful for that.
It was our journal or blog based on six months of travel to many if not most of the places you would be interested in.
on edit: please keep in mind that things will have changed over the years. I believe most of the campgrounds are still operating but some are not and the prices will have changed some. This site - Church & Church Mexican Camping Guide Site along with this message board are your best sources for up to date camping information.
