There is no way I’d drive through Mexico! The State Dept has travel warnings for every Mexican state on the route. People I’ve talked to who did drive said they had to have “spare” money for bribes as hauling a trailer is like having a sign that says “INSPECT ME!” They also said that if you stop for the night you have to guard your trailer or it may be empty in the morning. They also said to be sure and drive only during daylight.
BOl! About 12 years ago, there were two American/Mexican young women working in my wife's office. They convinced their parents and some siblings to drive across the border to go to Mexico City, their parents home city.
They got about two days over the border before they turned around and came back. They ran out of bribe money and were afraid that their big American SUVs would be stolen.
One of the young women said she and her sister felt like they were fresh meat being looked over in a butcher shop when the teenage federal-es confronted their small caravan with auto weapons to harass them and to collect bribes.
