I got some information from a very nice, personable Canadian man at the LCS information tent about a month ago. Thanks to the LCS bulletin board, I found a place to rent in San Antonio and will be driving down from Florida the first week in May.
Google maps shows 2 different routes from Interstate 10 in Texas: The "split" seems to occur around Victoria, TX: US-59S continues into Laredo, OR US-77S enters Mexico in (or near Brownsville.
How can I find out WHICH route is preferred from someone who has taken either (or both) of them, and any suggestions regarding a safe place to stay overnight (if needed) once I cross into Mexico. Thank you, and be in peace.
