Call me a dumb American, but what are the security issues with a trip like this? I was talking to the wife about it and really think this could be a bucket list type trip. After reading through the rules of Mexico and no weapons of any sort. I am not sure I would want to bring my wife down there. Maybe I just watch too much of the news these days.
No problems. My wife was worried about going until she got details during a Vegas run.
Problem areas are in main part of Mexico and there is also bad part parts of any large city (including the US). There is some crime in the bottom parts of Baja too.
The upper third of Baja is very focused of off-road racing with several different ones through the year.
Going as a group the people treat you very well and you feel like Offroad celebrities .
My wife just stated as I'm typing, "EXO made the trip so great, not once did she feel unsafe"
The weapon rule concerns when you get checked. Everyone is responsible and we don't get pulled over. At military checkpoints, they are mainly checking for weapons and drugs. If they find any they will go through your vehicle just like US border, this also jeopardizes the rest of the group, he se the strict rules.
EXO is setup through the board of tourism in Mexico also.
I brought my wife and son and it was an awesome time.
