RE: Border wait times!
Our crossing at Sonoyta March 4 was the same as above, only they didn't send us to the fruit and veggie place. We are from California. Less than 3 minutes stopped at the border.

RE: KM 21
Maybe I'm just slow, but what border crossing are you referring to?

RE: Toll road insurance claim
On a slightly different note, if you are covered by Progressive, all of your coverage EXCEPT liability is in effect in Mexico, so you are dealing with your US carrier if you aren't on, or care to deal with toll road insurance.

RE: Turning you permit back before San carlos
We discussed it two weeks ago, and when we went by, it looked deserted. Also, if you are going northbound, you'd have to go well past it and find a place to turn around.

RE: Vehicle permits
Somehow I suspect on pets, and meat confiscation, that it's what you do and say, and how you say it. We have been through absolutely nothing, to Aduana checking us pretty thoroughly, and never had any issues at all. We always keep in mind that we are entering a foreign country, THEIR country, and go with the flow, be it a rule that we are aware of or not. Works for us for over 35 winters. Life is too short to get too worked up about the small stuff, and it's all small stuff.
Yes, we travel with very visible pets.

RE: Vehicle permits
Gotta disagree, we do our best NOT to cross anywhere except Lukeville, either way.

RE: Propane Adapters
Mounted tanks are fine everywhere. Portable tanks take a different fitting. Most of the trucks carry the adaptor with them. If not, they will return with it, or you can stop at the next place along the road.
We had the strange situation of our filler being inset too far for their filler to reach. They sent out their tech, who built a gorgeous extension, installed it, tested it, and called the truck to fill us up. We were a bit uncertain about the whole thing until we read a posting by another couple with the same year Safari who had had the same issue in the states, and resolved it the same way!
Mexico runs on Propane, cooking and engines too. If what you have isn't standard, they will find a way to safely make it work.

RE: UPDATE AND GPS Caborca north bound paperwork
10 days ago. Check our post. It's easier than it sounds, and safe travels to you! Parts of the new road are open north of Zihua, and there is only one Pemex with easy access now, the one on your right well before the Troncones turn. Otherwise, it's half way up to Patcuaro.

For those of us living in the US, no one cares when we are going in and out. And obviously, we aren't flying!

RE: How to return TIP near Lukeville
Nothing except Aduana/Customs is still at KM 21. So, you can't pick up, return or pay for anything there.
We are bad people. We keep our FMM's, often make a quick dash or flight south again, and end up keeping them.
We have never had an issue. Just in case, we keep them after they expire, so if we have to produce them again, we can.

How to return TIP near Lukeville
OK. Today we helped a friend return his Moho and tow vehicle permits on Highway 2 going West toward Lukeville.
The complex is between Altar and Pitiquito. Cross the railroad tracks, and you'll see the facility on the left side. It is at about kilometer marker 90. There are no facilities or parking on the right side. It is between Altar and Pitiquito. The first driveway you see is where the trucks and cars exit the complex going east. The next driveway is not in use, and has lots of parking, and has plenty of space to turn around and not have to disconnect. Walk over to the main building. Behind it is a lowered parking area with a kiosk. If there is not a person in the kiosk, go to the bank in the main building and ask for help. The woman we had was very good. She had very limited English, but knew her job. She walked the distance to where we were parked, peeled the stickers, took pictures, checked numbers, then we walked back with her to the kiosk where she scanned the stickers and printed a receipt. This is the easy way to do it.
IF you miss the driveway, you can make a U-turn and enter the complex with all of the eastbound traffic, park, and go from there. That way, someone either has to move cones for you, or you go through Aduana again.
Either way, do a U-turn back onto highway 2, and continue on. Our entire process took about half an hour. Not bad!

Due to a windshield replacement, he has chosen to return both stickers. Any other ideas?
