okay having went to kino bay mexico, in the province of sonora i have come to understand that there is lot more to wory about than the borders themselves.
from hermosillo on hwy 15 in mexico you are going to cross a few checkpoints. some checking for drugs and some checking for stolen cars and then the border and then the border patroll
okay so here is how it goes.
heading north on hwy 15 to nogales AA from hermosillo
100km from the us border you are goingn to come upon a federale drug interdiction point. it is guardedby about 10 federalies (mexican federal police) all carrying loaded m-16's. anyone driving an rv or camper will absolutely be searched. those with cars will mostly be waived by, but some will be stopped. be sure to have your vehicle info (title and registration) plus mexican insurance (us ins is no good down there).
20 kkm from the border you will cross the vehicle exportation checkpoint, they will be asking you for your vehicle importation permit back (which oyu got on the way in to mexico) and will be cecking to see if the car is actually yours.
at the border expect to wait up to an hour. they will ask you where oyu have been, how long oyu have been there, where you are going, and if you have brought anything back with you from mexico.
Have your answers perpired! if you stumble or studder you will be sent off to the side of the road, and kept in a locked building untill they are done searching your car. this happened to me once while returning from canada. not fun at all.
assuming that you have mae it back to the us, you are probably going to take i-19 towards tuscon. about 20 km from that border, the united states border patroll will stop oyu at one of their checkpoints. looking for anything out of the ordinary. drugs, immigrants, terrorists, whatever. so make sure that once oyu cross the border oyu dont take a celebratory toke, because thats not going to get you very far.
but all in all the us/mexco border at nogales is alot easier than at lets say el paso. if you can you want to take the downtown entrances, off of the highway its much easier that way. just follow 15 north through the city
any questions?
