Entering Mexico border @ Brownsville, TX and beyond...
¡Hola!
I'm currently on route to TDF from A2, Michigan. Presently, I'm in Austin scheduled to arrive in Brownsville before the weekend (~12-4-09). The plan is to crash in Brownsville for the night, then ride into Mexico as far as possible... I'm thinking Tampico will do the trick. If anyone in the area is up for a ride across the border and into Mexico, I'd greatly appreciate the company. Alternatively, if there are any other travelers with the same planned point of entry and route along the Gulf coast, please let me know and maybe we can work something out. I'd also be willing to ride with y'all further into Mexico and beyond; my schedule is pretty flexible. Finally, if anyone else has done this in the past and can recommend a safe and affordable hotel/motel in Brownsville that's welcoming to riders, please pass that information along.
¡Muchas Gracias!

Victor, I don't know if this info is of any use but I can recommend the Red Rose Inn Best Western. Spent a couple of nights there about 3 years ago. Clean, moderately priced.
I will be flying to Corpus Christi(bike location) on the 7th crossing on the 8th. I might catch up.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
