Mar 21, 2009 - Two full days of driving

After almost 600 miles and two days of driving we arrived at the border crossing in Reynosa. ...

Feb 7, 2009 - Still heading south

Time of Departure - 0900 Time of Arrival - 1230ish Total distance traveled - 119 miles Travel related expenses - $0 Weather - low 80’s with a bit of a breeze and low humidity Destination - 20 miles north of Tampico, Tamaulipas Campground information - Country Express Hotel - dry camping in back parking lot
I think the entire group was back in their respective coaches and asleep by 10pm - it had been a long and exhausting day. ... It is actually a pretty slick system which has us wondering why we don’t do the same thing at home?… We made it through town and then headed south following the signs to Tampico. ... The roadways were mostly two lanes and Ken felt like a real ‘Mexican citizen’ when he got to pass his first car - that turning a 2 lane road into a 3 lane road is also a pretty nifty idea but I doubt it would ever work in the states! After a pretty uneventful drive we arrived at our next ‘campground’, which is actually a parking lot behind a small (and very nicely maintained) hotel.
