[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2657047, member: 108965"] Fill up in Douglas before crossing the border to Agua Prieta. Gas and Diesel quality improved down in Mexico when some US gas companies opened shop down there. I've used Shell and others, except Pemex when I go down there and it has been alright, but avoid Pemex if you can. And gas stations only take [B]CASH[/B], no cards. I was down there a couple of months ago and Gas was at $5.00/gl, and Diesel I'm guessing around $6.00 or $6.50. You can exchange dollars for pesos when you cross the border, look for money exchange signs right before or right after you cross, they tend to be right at the border on both sides. Gas stations will screw you on the exchange rate, and that's if they even take dollars instead of pesos, some won't. You will need to glass a lot, the last 2 years we've had a lot of rain and grass is high, in some areas above the waist, and coues aren't very tall. 2 weeks ago on our coues hunt, in some areas we could barely see their heads above the grass. I'm sure you know this but, look for things that don't belong and the slightest of movement. In January they should be easy to find as they are finishing the rut and are still hanging around with the does. When towing a trailer I always have a portable winch just in case, I didn't see it on your list. I'm sure the ranch has good potable water so you'll be good there, but you can take extra water if you like. Shovel and axe, I never leave home without them Hope this helps and good luck, there are some nice bucks down there. Luis [/QUOTE]
