Mexico and Central America sometime in October
My husband and I have been planning this trip for over a year. Utah to Mexico/Central America by bike. We have six months. Currently we are in Washington, about to start heading down the west coast.
Our families are not excited about the news coming out of Mexico currently. We are looking for fellow travelers who may be crossing the border sometime in October or early November. You know, "safety in numbers." At least this is what we plan to tell our families. Our dates and departure location (ie. border crossing) are flexible given enough time. My husband rides a Honda 650 XR and I ride a Kawasaki KLR 250 (Lois Pryce style!) We travel casually but can cover ground if we need to. Set up for on or off-road riding. We've been on the road since June so are in the riding groove. Let me know if you are interested or have similar travel plans. Cheers, Katie |
Hi Katie,
Like I said in another thread, don't let the media reports scare you off. My wife and I are having an amazing time in Mexico. Take all the usual precautions as you would in any other new city and you will be fine. You will find the larger the group you become, the less interaction you will get from locals or the less help you will get. Everyone stops to talk to us and we get by with our broken Spanish. Currently on the Baja. Daryll |

Hi Katie,
I`ve been in Mexico for about 17 days now. I crossed at Douglas/Agua Prieta on a Sunday so it was pretty quiet and fairly straightforward. I`ve had no problems since being here and am currently in Mexico City, heading for Oaxaca tomorrow and then onwards to CA. I`m sure you`ll have a great trip! |

Hi Katie,
