Just thought I'd throw this out after another DBBB.

Dreaming of La Pesca again. Best buggy location I have ever been to or seen pictures of. Couple hour drive south of Brownsville/Matamoros.

Hotel on a beautiful river, dry flats to buggy in two blocks away (that range from fairly narrow to at least a mile wild). Fresh seafood and a warm, friendly location.

Here's where I walked to and launched my kites from near the hotel.

23°47'17.12"N
97°46'17.06"W


Cross the border at sunrise and be cruising the flats in the afternoon. Smooth flat hard sand tidal flat that goes for miles and miles. Anyone else even remotely interested????
(passport and vehicle insurance required to drive)

Cheap hotels are available, but here's the one I stayed at that is literally two blocks from the kite launch and has a better rate than most in the US. (plus it's in its own compound and gives a nice safe feeling).

Anyone else at least interested in setting a date for next year and going for it?

looks nice ..best time of year?

I went in the spring once before. Summer is best, but hotter. Would be best if anyone's interested if we could time it when our buggier's down south could attend as well. I'm just seeing if anyone else would be interested in driving besides me.

I would be if they don't shoot me when I cross the border

The border is ok at that point... San Fernando has a history, but the meat served at the road side meat market there was excellant. Early morning travel in a group is best. Every buggy spot has it's risks. Crossing over six inch ropes every so many miles with machine gun embankments and guards with machine guns just makes the flat, smooth hardpacked sand that much more enjoyable when you get there, along with the dried shrimp and grilled oysters.

Just wanted to make sure you know what type road trip you are asking about.

Yeah if I want to get shot I'll shop at Walmart.:frog: Sounds really cool but out of my comfort zone!!
