Camping in Mexico

“treebeard and myself have a chance to go camping for a few days in Oct while we are in Az. to
Peurto Penasco, Sonoro Mexico

Rocky Point Beach

I never thought of doing something like this but it does sound pretty cool. It is only about 4 hrs from Mesa, Az where we will be staying. (I drive that just to get to the Mountains....)

So any thoughts on camping in Mexico?”

“Your USA car insurance will not be in effect in Mexico.
Best not to drive. Take a bus from the border.”

“you know, for some reason i equate Mexico camping with Pathman...whether for good reason or not, i don't know.
:-)

where the heck has he been?

that sounds like a super-fun trip, Maple!!”

“he is in New Mexico,

yes lyra I am sooo stoked about this trip. going to do alot of things and see alot of things. so you never know what may come from this trip. (hint hint)”

“Green card? I ain't got no green card. I was born in East L.A.”

“If I was treebeard, I would be very scared from maple's statement. ;)”

“and why is that stoviepooh???”

“I'm with you SS. Don't know where she's going with this one...”

“Ever seen that commercial with "daddy's little souvenir".”

“ok what is "the free zone?"”

“so you never know what may come from this trip. (hint hint)"

This is the mystery part. Must ask her later what she meant by this. Is she going to bring home a Mexican houseboy? Perhaps transport a mule back to NYC as a fossil fuel free alternative to the urban commute? Or maybe she's planning to set me up so I will know what it's like in a Mexican jail? Yeah, Stove. I'm worried....”

“LOL your to funny tree

the hint was about liking it so much, that i will want to live there!

all though I do like the idea of a Mexican houseboy...”

“I've been to a few border towns quite a bit, and my moms side is from MX. Most of the towns i've been too are either very poor, or very tourist trap types. I would try to find info on any type of national parks or guide services about camping in Mexico. This info is based on Texas border info..might be diff over yonder.

Id be very afraid of setting up in a nondesignated or non patroled area”

“we will be going with a group of people from AZ that already have everyting set up. Opie, thanks for the heads up.

Did you know that some car companies will not allow you to take a car rental there?

“Some insurance companies will insure your car in Mexico for an extra premium. Call your agent/provider.”

“evrything you ever wanted to know about Mexico


there is some funny stuff here, I like the question about being allowed to bring in guns...”

“Q. What if we have car trouble on the highway?

A . Mexico has traveling mechanics called Angeles Verdes (Green Angels) that will help motorists in distress. They drive green and white pickup trucks.



yeah right, I think NY would be safer. LOL”

“Q. Is nude camping permitted in Puerto Peñasco?

A. Not to our knowledge.”

“We own a small beach house in Puerto Penasco and half a dozen other family members own houses there too. We have been going down there since we were teenagers. Buy your insurance on this side of the border. I think you can camp on Sandy Beach.”
