I'm currently making my way around the US on the 1150 GS. At the moment I'm in Nashville with friends and will be leaving next Sunday (Aug 14th) to head to Tucson. Having just gotten done with the Horizons Unlimited East meet up I'm feeling inspired and I've never ventured down to Mexico.

I'd I'm pondering trying to go to Tucson via mexico. I can basically spend 7 straight days on the move. I could run super slab and get to the mexican border in a couple days.

I'm trying to figure out where I should stay and what route I should take through Mexico. I don't have a good sense for how quickly I'll cover distance, what areas are worth seeing and where the safety risks are or even this is worth doing. I know there's a great deal of hang wringing (and some of it very valid) about northern Mexico and I'd really like to find affordable places to stay in advance as well as some definite route. (The lady would appreciate it if I'd do so as well)

I was considering something like coming in through Reyonosa, then down to Torreon, then Hermosillo and up.

Ideally I'd love to find someone off the list who has tent space at different destinations as well as some routing advice. (This trip is on a pretty tight budget) While this it's a bit intimidating, I'd really like to make this little detour happen.

Thanks
Mike
