Ok, so i have never been to big bend and My husband offered t take me. The only issue is that he is very uncomfortable going through Del Rio. My Question is... Is it Safe? or Should We Skip it and go further north?

Last week I went to Big Bend via 90/Del Rio and been doing that route for decades with never a problem and gas is pretty cheap there. Want a good breakfast there eat at Julio's on 90 close to the Air base, its the same Julio's that makes chips that are sold at local grocery stores. In the restaurant there are autographed photos of celebrities and I asked do they eat here and they said no but when they have a party they order chips from us. Absolutely nothing to fear in DL, spent many a night in local motels and bike never messed with. How did you hear its not safe, being a military town lots of good folks there...........I've never heard of problems.
My wonderful, over-thinking husband read all the articles about the Cartel vs. Military violence in Acuna and started watching border patrol after work so now he is a little concerned!
I told him that I would post here to get some feedback. It seems to be making him feel better about the whole thing.
Go via Del Rio and cross into Mexico and have lunch at Lando's
It's on the main drag about 5 blocks down
Then back on 90 and out to BB via Marathon
Now that he knows that there is a bypass too, his stress level... much lower...
is it safe? yeah, if you go IH 10 the trucks will cause havoc. i been both ways numerous times and prefer hwy 90 thru del rio.
there are no bullets flying, or shoot outs happening.
I might well be wrong (usually am) but I had the feeling from the start that this thread was a TROLL. As I said, I could be wrong.
