Good to hear no one was hurt, even the dogs were ok. I guess the dogs didn't try to put up a fight. They fared better than the family with the pregnant wife that was recently assassinated in their car while trying to make it to the border.

BAD NEWS We have been hijacked & have nothing left but the clothes on our back! THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!! We were leaving Rosies in Cd. Victoria and were about 1 hour away near the km 57 where the road splits & separates for about 1 mile or 2---near the lake. -The road was blocked and bandidos with guns and machine guns threw us out of our vehicles. We were travelling with Dave & Joyce. They took off with our trucks and campers. Left us in the ditch. 5-6 truckers went by but refused to stop. The Federales 3 cars just happened to come by 5 minutes later. Spent the day at their office. We figured the bandidos cased us out at Rosies and let their gang know we were coming. It was too well planned to be randomly done at 9:40 a.m.......... We were not physically hurt but emotionally....... When you travel out of here, we recommend you travel behind a big truck or doble remolque so they don.t have a chane to block the road. Or else use another exit into US. And now the paper work has started.....not a very fast or easy business. We are still in Victoria. trying to get to Monterrey for passports, etc. and flight out of MX. with 2 dogs. safe travels. We thank God we are ok. Michelle & Jack Dave & Joyce ps send this to all travelling in MX friends. _____ Take your contacts everywhere.
