Makes you wonder how many people forget their passports and then can’t get back in, eh? Voila! Here we are… didn’t have to show anything or talk to anyone. Then we simply walked through the fence and around the entrance building into Mexico. We parked the Silverado in the huge parking lot before the crossing and paid our $6 parking fee. The last time was in Laredo Texas where we crossed into Nuevo Laredo, back in the early ’90s. It’s been many years since we visited Mexico. Here’s a picture of the border crossing into Los Algodones, taken just before we saw the signs that said “No Pictures”:Īnd here’s a picture I swiped from the Wikipedia website of the border crossing. Of course, we took the Silverado with the ATV still loaded on the back. It was a little less than 20 miles from the casino where we’re parked. Be sure to click on the name above for some interesting information on this place from Wikipedia. We got the scoop on visiting Los Algodones Baja Mexico from them. We watched some of the activities and then wandered over to talk with our Alpine Coach friends. Today, it was cordoned off and full of EZ-Up tents and tables, banners, grandstands, etc., Here’s a picture of the main entrance from the day before. There was a marathon going on and the Casino was the Start/Finish line. After enjoying some time at the casino and its’ buffet on Friday, we woke up Saturday to a parking lot full of cars and activity.
