Well, Don, perhaps it's not where you go but how you go.

Subject: Re: [Texascavers] Travel Advisory for Mexico 2
We just drove to Belize from San Antonio. We weren't a target, too
many Lexus and Mercedes and Navigators to bother with my dirty old
Superduty towing a crappy old trooper. Totally uneventful drive.

If you'll be traveling in Mexico, it might be a good idea to take
some of the contact information located at the bottom of the
advisory with you.
I didn't read it yet but I just got back from 3 weeks in Mexico
yesterday. Went in by myself through Laredo in about 10 minutes,
maybe 12. Got the green light both times. Another 10 or 15 got me
out of town without being shot by drug lords. Neither went through
nor saw any checkpoints all the way to Victoria. Did not get stopped
by cops in Monterrey. Came back via Monterrey, Saltillo, and Piedras
Negras (requiring many hours in the state of Coahuila, once again
all alone). Neither went through nor saw any checkpoints that whole
distance.
Was stopped by local police 2wice in Saltillo, after dark,
for bribes but talked (with a good bit of help from Monica) my way
out of both of them.
By far the biggest change I've noticed in Mexico in a long
while is that since all the cops have acquired radar they are very
intent on enforcing speed limits--especially on main highways
through small towns. If the sign says 40 km/h, you need to be damned
near 40 going through there, not 70 mph like everyone used to do.
Now, let me have a look at those advisories.
