Don't Think It Can't Happen To You. It Happened To Us.

Coming back from our Arizona trip Arizona for a month with our travel trailer,  we had planned on crossing at Anzalduas back into Mexico.  We were refused crossing by the U.S. side.  Apparently, Anzalduas is not issuing TIP for Rvs at Anzalduas.  We went to the McAllen/Hidalgo Bridge.  We went through the inspection in two minutes (Mexican plates).

We couldn't take the rv through the old centro so we took the street 20 de Noviembre.  It is one way heading south.  I drove in the middle as there was a lot of debris and trash on the sides.  I noticed a car behind me flashing its lights so I pulled over to drive on the right.  The car sped up, honking and flashing its lights.  It pulled in front of me and slammed on its brakes at an angle.  It was a red shiny new Chevrolet Aveo with blacked out windows and no plates or paper tags.  They motioned for us to pull over so I hit the gas barely scraping by them.  They chased us down in hot pursuit for over a mile as I drove 45 mph or more.  I had to dodge and block them several times.  I ran a red light as well as a four-way stop almost slamming into a long box delivery truck.  I got to a major intersection honking and flashing my lights.  They gave up.  I don't know if they had guns or not.  

Our travel trailer is now up for sale.  40 years living in Mexico, and 24 years rving in Mexico.  That's why we decided to rv this last month in the U.S.  Being caught in a shoot-out and chase between military and cartel three years ago and now this, I'm done. 

I have to apologize to everyone who ever listened to me or read my rving blog about how safe Mexico was.  The last ten years have changed the game completely.  Don't put your loved ones at risk.  Why they wanted to stop two old people in a 2005 SUV and a 2008 travel trailer I'll never know.  I won't tolerate this bullsh-- anymore.  Sheinbaum had better get on the ball.  Mexicans, foreigners and tourists alike are fed up.  Send emails to your consulates, Mexican and American senators and representatives.  We can no longer live like this and it doesn't matter about the past, it's about what is happening now and how the "now" are going to fix it.
