I was wondering where you will find the correct gas (diesel) in Mexico. We were told that it was hard to come by.

Do you drive up and down roads until you find something ? Once you find a spot, do you stop then, or keep searching for a while to see if you find something better ? I have always wondered about the boon docking search. I know there is some information available but seems some people like yourselves have a knack for finding the good spots.

We like to show people that the media is very wrong in most cases. The main thing about camping in Mexico is to do your research! Buy the Church's Mexico Camping book, it is getting a little old now but there are updates to it online. Yes, we feel safe boondocking/drycamping but we generally do it spots where there is some security, not really boondocking in the same sense. We don't normally stay in areas close to the border or where there has been talk of a lot of cartel activity but we also have heard that certain Mexican states should be avoided but again it may only be a certain area in that state because there are places that you can travel without any issues within that state. One of the most important rules, at least for us, is to never drive at night and plan to travel shorter distances during the day. Traveling in Mexico is never quick!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20260040716888042812015-12-23T13:55:30.966-05:002015-12-23T13:55:30.966-05:00Thanks Randy, we do happen to get a few duds every...Thanks Randy, we do happen to get a few duds every now and then but even they are better than staying at a Walmart or truck stop. ;-)<br /><br />Merry Christmas to both you and Pam.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-85927994673443141412015-12-23T13:53:49.823-05:002015-12-23T13:53:49.823-05:00We love the Valle de Bravo area.
