Calexico East Crossing
Does anybody have any first hand experience getting an FMT at the east crossing in Calexico/Mexicali? I'm heading to Loreto via San Felipe and have
never personally checked in there. I've dealt with TJ many times. Thanks for any help.

Easiest crossing ever for an FM-T.
You can now take Highway 7 (Orchard Rd.) South from Highway 8 which is about 6 miles east of El Centro.
When you enter Mexico, stay right in the Declaration Lane, the building on your immediate right is Immagration. Pull forward going through the mini S
turn, and park as soon as you can. Bank is directly ahead to the south standing by itself for payment of FM-T.
Make sure you get the 6 month FM-T.
Have a great trip!

HOw's that mini S turn if you're towing? Is it avoidable if you still need a migra stamp?

As tough as it looks as you approach it is not too bad. We drive a longbed crewcab and pull a 20' flatbed through there for Declaration and it's tight
but do-able.
There is a lot further up on the right, maybe a quarter mile from Immagration, but your vehicle will be out of your sight.
Are you planning a trip Hook? Memorial Day Weekend?

I was, but now it looks like I'll be moving stuff to Nogales and San Carlos, respectively. The Big Move has begun...........actually taking a load to
Nogales this weekend, too.
I was just curious for future reference.
Look for my buddy Eric and a bunch of other people down there with the owner of that place. Keep an eye on them; they're bringing down a bunch of
newbies to Mexico and, truth be told, they arent real seasoned either.
