| Headed out Monday for 5 days. Is this part of the country as bad as some of the others? Anyone ever been? |

Here is a tip; watch your vehicle closely while there, they will get you two ways with it, drug dealers will hide drugs in it then wait for you to cross back in to the US to take them that is if you are not caught by the BP while crossing back, good luck explaining how those drugs got there. Or the Mexican police will hide drugs in your vehicle then pull you over, happen to find them, arrest you and want you to pay them thousands of dollars to make it go away.
Oh and if you happen to find hidden drugs in your vehicle you can't go to the Mexican police they will still arrest you, and if you just dump them in the trash or some place, when the drug dealers come looking for them and they are not there expect a knock on the door from some dudes that would just soon kill you as look at you, it is a real catch 22 problem. |

Quoted: Don't go out at night better.Quoted: Depends where you are going. Juarez is not a very good place to be. Chihuahua city is a bit better. Define "a little better". Don't leave the hotel better or don't go out at night better? It is the capital city so there is a bit more...order? Actually there are some cool sites downtown. An outdoors bazaar/ mall with a lot of cool shops with eating places you would be familiar with. The old church there has a museum with a lot of Spanish baroque era art. And, of course, the Pancho Villa Museum with some cool old guns and shot-up vehicles. Stay in the Zona Tourista and you will be fine. |

No idea, just getting there will put you through Federales and Mexican military checkpoints, and perhaps checkpoints run by the other group. No way I would run that gauntlet. I'm sure people do every day, very much not my thing. We are flying in so that should not be a problem. |

Fuck Mexico! Fuck Mexico Twice! You get what you get when you go there! 
Oh - did I say Fuck Mexico? You can handle that, I am just going to cuddle for a few days and get the hell out. Or not..... Good point. Kinda makes me think about all the bitching going on about our country and how screwed up it is but at least I can go to work every day and not have to worry about making it home. |
