trip report, San Felipe to Sonoyta
We left San Felipe early last Wednesday. The young man at the military checkpoint was curious as to the cost of the motorhome, etc. He did a 5 minute inspection and AFTER he was done I gave him a futbol magazine and thanked him.
Road is the best it has ever been up to the toll road east ( highway 2 )
As we went through San Luis I watched how far the line was backed up and estimated it would have been about a 2 hour wait. This was around 10 am.
The most of highway 2 going to Sonoyta is finished and in good shape. There are still a few short detours where construction is continuing. We stopped a few yards before the border and I walked over and got our fmms cancelled and passports stamped as exiting. Pulled up to the gate and waited maybe 5 minutes for the 2 cars ahead of us. Went to secondary and the agent came in and with a polite conversation, took less than another 5 minutes and we were done.
All this took a little more than the 2 hours I would have waited if crossing at San Luis and I am 125 miles farther east on my way home.
Another thing is, there is no place to stop at San Luis to cancel the fmm.
