Going to stay over and take a leisurely ride back thru Parker, Lake Havasu, Laughlin! It's a 300 mile straight shot south and back!
Good luck. Hope you make it back alive.

You jump, you die. I doubt anyone would see anything on the way down.

I never worry about emerging from Mexico alive, I worry more about emerging from Needles, Blythe, Parker, Yuma, Lake Havasu and Bullhead City alive! Oh, I forgot, Quartzite! There's another dangerous area I'll be passing thru, all those snowbird senior citizens!

You might want to worry about getting Hep C from Mexico. It is highly contagious and comes from sharing needles or using equipment that is not properly sterilized.

I work in a health care facility here where I'm exposed to everything under the sun, I could get that right at work, working in any of the isolation units if I'm not careful. TB, Hep C, Cdiff, Mersa, AIDS, you name it!

Check out the Algodones Dental websites, and you'll see why I'm trusting of dental work in Mexico. Haven't seen a Dentist in my country for 19 years!

You are not comparing apples to oranges. Dental work involves bleeding gums. You should know how many people are shocked when they test positive for Hep C. You usually find that in IV drug users. You also find it in people who had dental work done in other countries.

Well there goes my idea of going with Tij sometime for dental work in Mexico.

Be careful about dental in L. Algondones. I spent 3k down there when my sister needed help and it was a total waste of money. She needed more work when we got back than she did in Mexico. I think it's a thumbs-up for glasses though. Great food and a fun drive down there, though.

Hep C symptoms don't show up for years, until your liver is destroyed.
