pdqpc 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2018 HI RickS, thanks, but I was seeking info on road conditions, safety or anything else about the route. Or info on places to stay for the nights on the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paradise 6 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 Road conditions.change from state to state.. i would replace your tires with 80,000 mile tires Service your coolant and a/c Google traza tu ruta to have your list of towns along the way... so when you reach a sign that says pereferico. You will know thats to avoid the next town and continue south Hermosillo you go through the town following the signs to next city Obregon you go through the town Every time i have made the trip my schedule was different But 100% after you pass obregon.. there is no place to sleep for at least 4 hrs I entered obregon around 6pm and thought i would find a no tell motel in a few miles.... felt very stupid driving at night and finally finding a motel about 11 30 pm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Los Mochis is 3 hours south of Obregon and has tons of motels since it is jumping off point for many Copper Canyon tours. From 2008 to 2012 we made annual treks between Ajijic and Bisbee, AZ. We crossed at Naco, which is the same Route 2 that Lukeville is on, but is the eastern fork of it; Rte. 2's western fork from Lukeville and eastern fork from Naco connect to Rte. 15D at Santa Ana. Rte. 2 from Naco is very mountainous with switchbacks. Lots of tractor trailers and much of Rte. 2 is single lane. Can be treacherous in rainy season. Sorry OP but don't know what Rte. 2 from Lukeville is like. We normally spent our 1st night in Mexico in Navojoa. In the long days of summer (June), we would spend our first night in Los Mochis. Our 2nd night was usually Mazatlan. We only drive in daylight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsfiddlegirl 5 Report post Posted January 27, 2018 Just stayed at Hotel Booye in Navojoa. Very nice, especially because you can park in front of your room. Place is three years old and very fresh. I drove in from Tucson, had no big road issues and stayed on Cuota all the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdqpc 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2018 Hi and thanks to all that replied to my questions. (I just got my computer back from the repair shop yesterday is my reason for not acknowledging everyone's reply sooner). Very good advice. I have driven from Laredo many times but never from Lukeville. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
