How is the Southbound crossing at Mexicali?
Busy?
FMT process - is it easy one stop like SY?
Interchange to Hwy 5 south to San Felipe?
Haven't been to SF in 25 years but now that "The Big Red 1" is broken for awhile may have to... Just need to GTFOOH

Crossing into Mexicali is generally quick and easy. We have never had a long wait there. If you take the East crossing and get into the far right
entry lane you will find Immigration in the building right there....the bank is just across the parking lot. Except for a short wait in the bank line
we found the process to be pretty pain free.

Depends on where you aree coming from,
from San Diego, I cross at the Old Mexicalli
crossing, 2 times last yr,, I got the free
7 day 6 nt fmt at the Old crossing,
don't know about the Bank for the 180
fmt, although I don't believei itt is
like San Ysidro, 24/7, parking for Mex IMM
there can be a pain, I end up parking some
6 blks into Mexicalli, as that is the closest
I've found the green parking curbs,
there may be a closer place, as you probably
know, san felipe Immigration no longer
processes fmt's,

Just to be clear here..the FMT is needed if you stay longer than 7 days...
