Mood: Have Baja Fever

I have been going to Mexico for over 40 years (with parents the first 6) and we are campers and have always brought our own food... never questioned... Food brought south for your own consumption while on vacation is allowed.

In recent years, we tend to eat as much local food as possible to enjoy the experience of Mexico even more... when we are in towns.

In the future, I would suggest that each van/ car carry a portion of the food instead of you hauling all of it... or at least you be in front of your caravan instead of the end of it... and all of you pull into secondary if you get the red light.

There are many group trips going to Baja (schools, churches, tours) and hauling food for the group is not uncommon.

Best of luck next time... and where are you in the states because I bet you are a great cook?!;D

Cool. Thanks all for weighing in. I'll try to heed the advice when I can. I'll definitely lobby on behalf of the fish tacos and Dos Equis, though. :coolup:
