Citrus is a no-no and will be taken, if found. 
Mediterranean fruit fly is nothing to fool with.

When we crossed in November only asked if we had any fruit and didn't seem to care about meat or veggies. May be no big family BBQ's that weekend

Woody I crossed a few days ago and was asked the standard questions...to which said no. When ask the second time if I had ANY veggies, I said si uno
onion...he smiled and motioned forward. That's when the OTHER two beggars handed me a ticket for 20 pesos...when I complied with said handout, the
other stumblebum squirted something on the left front corner of my rig and misting onto my windshield. The next day when the sun came up, I damn near
wreaked...could not see the road at all.

AL,
When I crossed recently the stuff sprayed up from the road bed. Must have been broken, they haven't sprayed by hand in some time.

I've only been sprayed going south (in the past). Now I bypass the border by turning right at the airport sign about 1 1/2 - 2 klicks before the
border. Follow the road as it winds to the left past the airport and come out on the main drag in GN by the canal near the Banamex. Buena Suerte,

boe4fun, now you've done it....
...gone and let everyone in on GN's big secret...
Actually, that 'run around' the border crossing has been bandied about several times here, and known by many for years!
I've been 'down town' in GN using the Pemex, and decided to use that route North...it's always a challenge if you haven't used it much from GN going
North...and I always visualize someone from the border or Military base watching me through binoculars as I move along the dirt tracks North to merge
with Hwy 1 again - sending out an armed Hummer to intercept us... Hasn't ever
happened, but I'm glad when I'm back on Hwy 1, running again!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Would a large motorhome pulling a trailer draw much attention

We passed through going South on Feb. 5. Guy asked us if we had any fruit or veggies, which we didn't. He waved us through. No spraying, no 20
pesos.

Yup, Mex. 1 isn't the only road that crosses into Baja Sur! El Arco and the El Arco bipass road to Guillermo Prieto are some others...
