Violence in Mexico?

Hi everyone,
Many people have ben asking what is it like in Rocky Point and is it safe to travel. The answer is simple YES. I would like to really tell you the facts about what is happing here in Mexico and in Rocky Point. I will start out by letting you know that yes there are problem areas in Mexico just as there are problem areas in the US and other countries. The areas that have been effected are Nogales, some border towns of Texas (not all), Tiajuana and some surround areas of of that city. There are some others but they are so far south from here that I will not go into in this blog. There has been no acts of violence while traviling from the U.S.A to Rocky Point at the Lukeville or San Luis borders. In fact I have many people when they arrive here tell me "Gus all the way here we thought about what the news was saying and other people but, now that we are here it is nothing like that at all... they are really hurting the town of Rocky Ponit for no reason." and others have said "its just another way that the american government is keeping americans in state to help the economy if we spend all our money here in Rocky Point how does the US prosper, it doesn't" For what ever reason I am leaving it up to you our clients to respond here to let others know your feelings good or bad we want to here from you.
One last note here is a "News 13" who arrived to our park during spring Break 2009 to get the responces of the RVers.

I love Rocky Point...I always have stress before we head down there...but it is always for no reason at all...mostly due to what is heard on the news. The people of Rocky Point and Sonoyta (border town?) are great. They are fun to talk to, and the culture is amazing!! They all deserve our respect - if you give them that - they are happy to give you respect right back. As far as the violence is concerned...there is plenty of that right here in Sunny Arizona...just be smart about the choices you make...and go enjoy Mexico...just like our economy...they need money too!!!

Same here, lotsa stress due to News and media, but when I am there and during the ride down, I have yet to come accross anything bad or worthy of the scrare tactics set forth by the US givernment and media, I hope I never do, but been going here since the late 80's and have seen it get nicer and nicer and safer and safer ever since. -Bob
