Your plan of attack sounds good. Some answers:<p>The temporary permit office for vehicles is open 24 hours a day.<p>Take bridge #1 (the old bridge) and take a right turn right after the bridge ends. This street will take you to the railroad station. The office you need is right across the street.<p>Border to Monterrey about 2.5 hours Toll around 300.00 pesos.<p>: I have read several messages on this board regarding travel to Mazatlan. Our planned route is Laredo to Monterey to Durango, over Devil's Backbone into Mazatlan. We are only a couple of hours from Laredo, so I plan to be over the border when the Customs Office opens. We then plan to drive all day until we reach Durango where we will spend the night and save Devil's Backbone for the next day. Here are my questions if anyone can help out...<p>: -Which bridge do I need to cross in Laredo and what time does the Customs office open? Is it easy to find?<p>: -How long of a drive can I expect from the border to Monterey and Monterey to Durango?<p>: -How much in "Cuotas" can I expect to pay on the above legs?<p>: -What are some safe hotels to stay at, with courtyard safety for my vehicle, in Durango?<p>: Any information you can provide on the above or any additional information would be greatly appreciated!<p>: Thanks in advance. : Jason : Austin, TX <p>
