This has long been on my list of places to explore. I would love to know more about the train, whether it is worth it, or over-touristed. If you hear any insight, please pass along. <br /><br />Been all over the interior of Mexico on the bus system, often as a solo female, and never felt uneasy there, or Guat. either for that matter.

You guys must be nuts! :) The route you've chosen is very scenic and I know you'll have fun. <br /><br />As a side note, and I know we all like boondocking, there are three places near El Paso that we have been to and recommend. Franklin State Park right outside the city in the mountains, Hueco Tanks State Park, and Guadalupe Natl Park (8 bucks). They may not be directly on your route but check them out and you may find one you are interested in.<br /><br />I am sorry that we will miss meeting George. So many years reading his blog and always wanting to meet up. Well, some other time.

We went early in the morning with our friend Les and agreed to leave immediately if any one of us felt uneasy. We all got glasses and were back in El Paso bu 2:00 PM.
