Re: Toll road to Mazatlan
I drove north to the border the last couple of days. The road between Mazatlan and Los Mochis is the worst I have ever seen it. Huge potholes, small potholes, and every size in between. Lots of patches that are not holding up. There is still lots of flooding of the farm fields. Take your time and go slow.853Views0likes0CommentsRe: Actual observations

I love my travels around Mexico too. I have to disagree with the above quote. Wisely?? I think "Lucky" is a more appropriate word. There is a reason all the truckers get off that route at night and it is not to sleep.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Semana Santa

These guys have a large variety of diesel trucks with an ever changing inventory. I bought my dually from them. They are good honest used car salesman:) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063697717254602Views0likes0CommentsRe: Semana Santa
I am in Gringolandia (Lake Chapala). Lakeside is packed full of tourists. On Good Friday, the hot springs in San Juan Cosala were full, most restaurants were full, the Malecon in Jocotepec was almost overflowing yesterday with people. Traffic is backed up for miles to pass thru Ajijic (nice having a moto). It is going to be a great weekend for tourist based businesses Lakeside.602Views0likes0CommentsRe: TIP when permanente
I looked into this years ago. Here is where the loophole might close. Quienes pueden conducir la casa rodante importada temporalmente en territorio nacional Las casas rodantes podrán ser conducidas o transportadas en territorio nacional por el importador, esposa(o), sus padres, hijos o hermanos siempre que sean residentes permanentes en el extranjero o por cualquier otra persona cuando viaje a bordo el importador. You are a permanent resident of Mexico not a resident abroad. When you have an accident, what would your insurance company look at when you file the claim? That said, in 20 years living in MX I personally know of only one vehicle taken for an expired TIP. It was a camper van at Cancun airport a decade ago. I say go for it. 99% chance you will have no issue. The 1% can be taken care of with a little cash644Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buy RV in USA & drive it down? Or after I arrive in Mexico?
