What can I bring North
I have to cut my trip a little short and was wondering what in the way of meat and cheese I can bring North? No fishermen around so I can't give much
away out here.
Thanks Mike

Don't risk it, bring nothing. They can charge you major fines and charges for a piece of fruit, dog food or something silly. Clean out everything.

Mike,
Cheese is ok...as long as the meat is un opened and has THE ORIGINAL LABEL STATING PRODUCTOF USA it's ok..
Looked like a bit of rain the other day?? Did it get pretty torn up out there??How did Pablo do?
If you could post a road report for that stretch of dirt,Or send a pm with that it would be great.. Couple of weeks away for me
Thanks,
TT

Excellent idea! Fresh meat and cheese would be very appreciated! And what a difference it would make if more and more just dropped off a little!
Thanks Woody.

just because one thing is prohibited does not mean all things are prohibited,... just follow the rules and you'll be fine
i usually bring home cheese, tortillas, and my fav junk snack foods.

Hi Tom; The road is fine except for the first dip out of the fish camp. When the fishermen get back that will be fine. Rained very hard for a couple
of hours. Pinball ,chili bowl, and the little arroyo were all running big time. Rockpicker trucks have been coming in and out on the North road. No
problems at your place.
Later Mike

Have you actually gone to that link and tried to get any information? What a typical government made nightmare... every fruit is listed as needing a
permit to import... the ones we know are ok and the ones that aren't have the same restriction.
There is a newer, user-friendly list someone posted on Nomad after the last time you posted that government link... if I find it, I will repost it.
Here it is, from 2014... given to a Nomad at the border:

No worries. But it's always a moving target so we try to cross empty handed. Good luck!

I agree, it's not worth the hassles the newer, under-trained border guards can put you through... Just leave your excess, fresh food with the old guys
or the military checkpoint guys out in the desert!

I donate extra food while waiting in line to cross the border. They seem to appreciate.

i totally agree with DK on this...I have made so many people happy (including Coco many times) but just emptying out my food and knowing I am ok to
cross. Construction workers, checkpoints, small restaurants, workers at the hotel where I was staying...and just some locals and stragglers on the
old road.
Once on the road out of Puerto Santo Tomas there was a Navy group that had kind of been dumped off and were by the side of the road...the guy doing
the cooking ran up when I asked would they like some food and was quite happy... it just seems the right thing to do.
