In three years of renting a house in Mexico and traveling there monthly I never had any problems. 2003 to 2006 must have been off years for banditos.
This last trip made up for it in triplicate.
I am going to make this as short as possible. On the way down to Mulege my wife and I stopped for the night to camp at El Paballon RV park, on 17th of
February. When we woke up the next morning at 5:30, there were two Mexican guys acting like they were looking at some old whale bones at the parks
entrance. We could tell they were checking us out. My only thought was that we were lucky we woke up so early. We broke camp and were on the road only
a few minutes later. We had only taken out the necessities, as we were just camping for the night. We were driving a late model Toyota Tacoma extra
cab. As the road turns up into the hills that go over to El Rosario I notice in my rear view mirror a truck rounding the corner behind us that was
going way too fast. I immediately said a commented about it to my wife, and recalled a story I had read on the internet where some guys tried to stop
an American on the Toll road outside of TJ. We decided to speed up and try and stay ahead of them. No matter how fast I went they were still catching
up with us. At that point I decided that there was no way I was going to let them pass. I pushed my truck as hard as I could, and then a little bit
more. They were right on our bumper now. At the exit of every curve, they would try and come along side of us, but I would gun it and our truck had
more pick up than theirs. Thank God. I had more of a load than they did though, so they would catch up on the curves. My wife was looking back and
could see the passenger had a rifle between his legs, and that they were the same two guys from that morning in the camp ground. We were in a race for
our lives. Finally we could see the top of the mesa where the army check point is. I floored it and we started to pull away from the banditos. At
which point they turned around. We told the army guys what had just happened, but they were uninterested.
This was a total set up. The care taker of the place heard me tell the people travelling south with us, all our plans. They went on to Rosario to get
a room for the night while we camped. She overheard the time we were leaving, the direction, and took a good look at all the stuff in the back of our
truck. The two guys were definitely waiting for us in the morning.
On the way north we saw the same mid 80’s model red Toyota parked off the highway at the entrance to the road out to El Paballon RV park. No doubt
they were scouting for their next victim. Be safe out there, and be very careful if you camp at this spot. |
Do illegals vote in the USA? Do Mexicans have any power at the polls? If
they did, how would AZ have passed this new law? Most people who have applied for and entered the USA legally highly resent those who have taken
shortcuts and thumbed their noses at their new host country. So does that make legal aliens conservatives?
