Personal Preference.

Me, Personally, i will head down with US dollars in increments of $10-20. Not much is ever more then $10-20! Peso Exchange is about 10:1. Some people prefer pesos because its easier to keep track of your change in case someone is trying to rip you off. I just use the 10:1 rule and havent had any problems. Actually, not true, i have had one guy trip to rip me off once at a Pemex, I gave him a very dirty look and shook my head no and he immediately gave me all of my change!

Also, if you get $100 worth of Pesos and you only spend $50 then you need to stop at the border again to convert them back to US dollars because the only places i have found on the US that takes Pesos is those lunch trucks that come to jobsites (honestlY).

I dont want to deal with that waiting in line and exchanging $ and stuff but i am kinda lazy like that.

But that is just me! Some people go down with all Pesos. Its your call!

On a side note, i am glad the gas prices have come down so much!

Local station WAS $3.19 last week and is now down to $2.89 today. This will add up to a decent savings on my 69 gallon fill up for the trip! :victory:

We will hit the coast Friday & camp. Saturday do some dirt & work our way up to the Sierra Juarez & make camp Saturday at Laguna Hanson, then head out for Tecate on Sunday for the crossing.
