You guys planned this ride a week too late and missed all the added excitement and shaking. See Chango is right, it's not safe down there. lol

Hey SB, you want to go?

Web is reporting epicenter as "37 km north of Tecpan de Galeana". Hence the possible confusion. But it is in Guerrero state. Loooong way away.
Hey SB, you want to go?
questions for the group are all logistics questions. How to get to McAllen (ride or trailer?); Go to McAllen Tuesday evening and overnight in a local motel or ride there on Wednesday morning?
Lee, that was part of post 17. I got it my head that most would be arriving in McAllen sometime Tuesday and beginning the trek to Galeana Wednesday morning. Lee does that work for you (and the others, please chime in)?
That's a little bit of a haul from Midlothian and I'd like to spend as much time there as possible.
Me also on the time spent actually enjoying the riding in mountains part of the trip. If we could get more than 3 days in that would be cool also. Getting down there is a bit of a pain so I would love to actually see 4 days of riding if we all could work that.

I'm in on the Wee for sure Brian.
I plan on going to the Mexican Consulate in Dallas probably Friday for my vehicle permit. Haven't taken care of the insurance on line yet.
We talked briefly about staying another day. Any thoughts yet? Asking because I'll have to show an exit day on the paperwork.
I haven't seen anyone other than Timbercat posting recently about going. I was curious who was still in as well.

I was planning on doing mine for the 20th - 27th in case things changed slightly.
To McAllen. Process paper work and return to US side for the night or stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Reynosa (JT's suggestion)
So, are we staying at the H.I.E. in Reynosa on the Tuesday the 20th?
I was planning on doing mine for the 20th - 27th in case things changed slightly. It doesn't cost extra for extra days and no penalty for coming back early but definatley a penalty for coming back late to the tune of $400.00 U.S.D.
(1) Get your TVIP for the maximum valid period of 180 days
(2) Cost is the same
(3) Remember, your TVIP is valid only as long as your tourist visa is valid, so ask for 180 days on that as well
Note: There is no reason to "short state" your visa or TVIP. On the outside chance your bike breaks or something else pops up, you might need the extra time.
Note: If you are returning from Mexico and are positive you won't use the remaining time on your TVIP, go ahead and cancel it. As far as your tourist visa is concerned, technically, that is supposed to be cancelled as well, but in practice, nobody I know does that. I have never cancelled a tourist visa leaving Mexico. I also use one TVIP multiple times - I only cancel when I'm nearing the end of the 180 window and I'm positive I won't be using it anymore.
