Some good news I just heard this morning is that Mexico is creating a bilingual police force whose job is to patrol the first 50 miles of baja in the interest of promoting tourism.

So good luck with planning your trip - this can only help.

I'm posting this to bring the topic back up in the forum. For the trip we're not too concerned with safety issues. We will cross at Tecate, not run at night and will try to get to Santo Thomas, a possible meeting place. My biggest concern at this point is the "Topes" in rural towns. Our Safari is pretty close to the ground. Anyone have input?

I'm interested, but it's 50-50 for me.

I can provide digital maps for Baja for anyone who wants to use GPS moving maps in their laptops.

Another request for information about the "Topes" or huge speed bumps in some of the Mexican towns. When we did a lot of camping south of the border our rig was a pop-up designed for off-road pulled by a Landcruiser and presented no problem. Today, our Safari is really low to the ground. Are we going to have a problem?
