Need place to park a pickup along Texas-Rio Grande (anywhere from Alpine to Laredo)

Genghis Swan · 12-27-2007, 02:43 PM

I'm heading into Mexico for a couple weeks and was looking for a secure place to park a pickup and a small 10' trailer along the Texas, Rio Grande border for a couple weeks. Anywhere from Alpine Tx. to Laredo would be great.

If anyone has any extra room I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply but Presidio is out of the way for me. I'm headed into Central Mexico so I'd like to find something between Alpine and Laredo.

The closest border to Alpine, 75 miles north of the Rio Grande, is Presidio.

The next closest crossing is Del Rio, more than 200 miles SE of Alpine.

Scroll dowm for Mexico.

Find a motel that will allow you to park your stuff while gone. Many will.
Just stay there another night when you return from your trip.

Try looking under Trip Planning in this forum. The first thread under trip planning is a thread called tent space. You might find someone there that lives in that area.

Look in your handy BMW Anonymous book if you belong to that. Or find someone you know with a Beemer most of us belong. Lots of people list in there they have parking space. Or for a few bucks campgrounds will let you park. OR as suggested I hav lots of customers and myself too at times that stay at the motel coming and going a night and they will let you park. Although I always worry about security there. Trucks ad trailers are stolen a lot seems like around here anyway.
If you need any info on Mexico riding send me note. I have been riding there 26 years and working there as a tour guide for 10 years now. Been just about every place that you can think of there. Except Cancun. But i have been to Miami anyway.
