Viva Mexico!

I do agree with you though. You get it wrong and you now have a severely pissed off dude on your hands.

I pulled > 5000 pesos out for ~5 days and had about 1000 pesos left over.

5gal of gas is 200P, a night is 200-300P (except in Divisadero), meals are under 100P. YMMV for beer and repairs.

Rule of thumb... BMW: Bring More Wampum. There is a really nice hotel on the canyon rim that last time I checked was $250 US/night.

Thanks, very helpful!

I know I can only aspire to be a member of the "Is Mexico Safe? Riding and Blogging Club", plus I don't even have a clever screen name or nickname or handle or whatever it's called...yet. But I can always hope!

In any case, riding to Terlingua on Saturday, then crossing at Presidio on Sunday and heading for Creel and five or six days or riding. But I'll have to be super careful... the R1200GSM is way too pirty to get dirty.

With these, you can make it from Austin to Creel, one shot

Yikes! I think that I have stayed there but in hindsight that is huge!

Yeah, I tried going there this weekend. 1300P/night. Probably more if you try to pay in USD

That didn't mean you have to stay there.

Name that boat theme restaurant on the right there for a sweet prize.
