Re: Actual observations
When I was driving long haul I used to think Atlanta had the worst traffic of any city. But many Mexican cities are just as bad. In Hermosillo many workers go home for lunch. They drive like madmen. Get home and stuff something into their stomachs. Now it is time to get into your car and fight the traffic. It is nuts. They drive on the sidewalk Go through red lights. It was much better when not that many people had cars. Hermosillo lacks parking for the number of vehicles on the road. Drivers double park There is no cure for this madness.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Actual observations
I am really enjoying Wm. Elliot's posts. We are still thinking of returning to Southern Mexico. We have lots of great memories of our trips. But now we would be looking through 80-year-old eyes. I have not read anything positive about Mexico in a long time. We would have to buy a second motorhome and I would not be very happy if we got halfway south and turned around Mixed feelings.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Semana Santa
The week after Semana Santo is Junior week in Kino Usually a bunch of rich teen ages raising hell. Think of Daytona beach. Lots of underage drunk kids. But not this year. There were more police than kids. No loud music or 4×4,s racing on the street. Semana Sabta visitors was down by 40%.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Semana Santa
There are a lot of reasons for the lack of RV'rs. The Mexican Government has never encouraged rv'ing. They want the planes to land bsu the tourists to some hotel where they have a Mexico night(??) and maybe 5 days later send them back to Saskatchewan. Today's Rv'rs are not like the regulars on this forum. They expect USA style campgrounds, better highways and more. There is always the fear of violence. Nothing we can say or do will change their thinking. We are planning on returning to southern Mexico in December. Right now I am looking for a smaller MH for our travels. I really miss the Churches. It is hard to get up to date CG information. I googled and anything I found was useless. The Overlanders site is really not very good. Mexico Mike is decades behind There is not much current information on RV.NET. At one time every year there were posts about new and closed CG's, highway information and more. I tried to find a CG in Oaxaca and San Cristobal. There is one close to Oaxaca city but I see nothing in Chiapas that can take even a 30 ft. MH. 2 of your favorite spots. We do not bring a toad and that does help in getting through tight city streets. We overnight in Pemex's with no worries but I am not comfortable in leaving our unit anywhere that is not a CG or gated lot.782Views0likes0CommentsRe: Semana Santa
We were watching the CNN show about eating in Mexico. Great show. When she went to Oaxaca my heart was racing! We started to talk about all the good times we had in Oaxaca and Chiapas. I am researching smaller MH's. Maybe a Class C or larger B. Our Dynasty is just too big for Mexico ! I really would like to find a Classic unit. Maybe a Superior. Or an Argosy. Nothing bigger than 28 ft. Our old Clark Cortez would have been perfect.602Views0likes0Comments
