So what's the deal?
Is the border open or what? I've been hearing for months that the Canadian and Mexican borders are both closed, but it sounds like the Mexican one is
actually open. I'm planning on making a trip to Cabo in January and crossing at Sonoyta. Anything I need to know about? Is Mexico basically business
as usual?

January is over 7 months away. Nobody knows what may happen with covid restrictions in next 7 months, but we can hope for improvement, eh?
Check back in November and December for update on covid travel restrictions!
Woke!

Well that sounds like good news to me. Hopefully everything stays open.
I think I'm going to drive over to Chihuahua while I'm on this trip too.

I've driven down through Sonora 50 times. Not sure I'd have the balls to go tooling around Chihuahua.
Btw, you will need an import permit for your vehicle for that.

If you are thinking about going over to Chihuahua from Sonora, THIS ROUTE IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

I just returned from Baja, crossing at Mexicali both directions.
No one asked the purpose of my trip until the U.S. CBP agent at the border on my northbound trip home. None of the Mexican authorities were the least
bit interested, whether at the border or at the military checkpoints. It was business as usual but with face masks.

I'm very familiar with the TIP and the boundaries (basically everything east of 15 until you hit Guaymas). There's a Banjercito at the Pitoquito
garita I can pick one up at I believe. I drove to Mazatlan from Ojinaga, Chihuahua just a few years ago and then drove over to Monterrey and up to
Laredo.
My plan is to take 2 to Janos, then 10 to 45, 45 to Chihuahua, and then 16 to Ojinaga. I'm wanting to stop at Paquime (Nvo Casas Grandes) and the
Peguis Canyon (Ojinaga / I've been here before). I'm not too overly concerned with safety since I'll only be driving while the sun is out. I've heard
MEX-2 has issues sometimes between AP and the road up to Antelope Wells, but I'll just so some research to make sure there isn't anything active going
on before I drive it.

Land border is supposed to be closed for non-essenital, as per 3-lateral agreement.
Canada and US do their part, Mexico don't, so you won't have problems crossing in.
Currently in Mexico 6% received 1 shot, this is 1 person out of 15, almost nothing. Fewer people yet got 2 shots.

A little late from my January plans. Alas I plan on going in May.
Anything new I need to know? Are US citizens still exempt from vax mandates and negative tests if crossing by land (both ways)? Are masks still a
thing in all of Baja / certain parts of Baja?
Thanks in advance for any updates.

Covid is over.
When many millions of people saw 70 thousand "elites" at the Super Bowl in the most strict state in the most strict city not wearing masks that was
the end of Covid.

Still a mask mandate down in BCS for indoor public places. ie: they won't let you in Costco without a mask.

Still presenting your whacked-out Covid denial theories as fact, I see.
Facts: 843,595 new infections and 2,370 deaths reported worldwide in the past 24 hours.
And then there is this:

Hwy 16? I've done it lots on the motorbikes. Chihuahua state is awesome.
So is Durango. One just needs to have the situational awareness tuned.
It's the REAL Mexico. Baja has more in common with alta California than Mexico.

I did Creel to Alamos via Batopilas,Urique,Bahuichivo and Chinipas last April. 3 weeks in the barrancas. It was mostly offroad 2 track.
It's definitely narcolandia. They'll let you know where you can go. We only got denied one route we wanted to do. They were mostly friendly.

Now THAT would be a worthwhile trip report. 
I assume you were driving something motorized; how'd you deal with fuel?

There was gas and diesel in Bahuichivo and Chinipas.

Geezus Criminity! What the hell is wrong with you! Just because you want it over, and wish it were over, and believe it's over -- DOESN'T MAKE
IT OVER.
70K at the Bowl without masksl? 70K maskless people is proof they're stupid
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Stupid usually don't know that they are stupid. Stupidity prevents them from learning this fact.
