Are there any issues with crossing at Sonoyta/Lukeville out of Sonora? Looks like the shortest route.

Are you looking for the shortest route or the fastest route. It may be the shortest but not the fastest.ehall - 7-17-2017 at 06:21 PM
No problem unless it is Sunday afternoon. Long lines just like everywhere else. proneman - 7-17-2017 at 06:32 PM
I guess fastest......Algodones? I am in Guerrero Negro and leaving early tomorrow AM.....Approx. how many hours to Algodones......
Thanks for info!TMW - 7-17-2017 at 06:39 PM
I'm guessing 8-10 hours.DaliDali - 7-17-2017 at 07:14 PM
FWIW.......and going in the opposite direction from just south of Yuma on Hwy 195....via San Felipe and over the 22 miles of dirt towing a 24' travel
trailer......made it to Guerrero Negro in 12.5 hours. 5-10 MPH
No stops other than fluid intake and output and fuel at Gonzaga.
Dash temp gauge showed 110 once away from the Gonzaga area and inland on the dirt....that was a couple of weeks back when the desert SW was on fire. A
much needed 67 at Gro. Negro.bajabuddha - 7-17-2017 at 09:10 PM
Have done it many times, proneman. The drive is shorter by a tad, but not quicker by any means. I like the drive across the northern volcanic fields
west of Sonoyta, but going through the 2nd half of the voyage to Mexicali-south to San Flip is a flat long drive. If you're in tourismo-mode and in a
hurry, do yourself a favor; stay on I-10/8, take the Mexicali East exit, head south from there... otherwise, do the Mexico Hwy route and enjoy just
being south of the border. The sooner I get into Mexico the sooner I acclimate to Mexican Standard Time and feel free and unfettered. AKgringo - 7-17-2017 at 09:28 PM
I understand you are headed north, and want the fastest route. I would also recommend crossing at Mexicali east, and take the US highways back to
Texas.
Personally, I would like to take the Mexican highways, just because I have not traveled the stretch east of San Luis for a few years, and would like
to see what has changed.
Another benefit of traveling north of the border is not having toll roads, and I am pretty sure gasoline is well below Pemex prices at this time
(could be wrong!).Beagle - 7-18-2017 at 05:44 AM
We crossed back over at Algadones a few weeks ago (also coming back to TX) and had no issues. We took the 5 up to the 2 East. At Algadones there might
have been 3-4 cars in front of us. Streets were super narrow though. Wouldn't do it in an RV.
Then shot right into Yuma and ate at Lutes and then East for a few days.
