Best driving route from W Coast US to Guanajuato

[DonJuane]

Also, the Facebook group "On The Road In Mexico" has a majority of members who drive down from the western area of the US to other western Mexican destinations so if no one here is able to help you with directions, I'd check there. For the most part, the roads are still better in the US than in Mexico and let's see at about 17 pesos a liter, saying 4 liters per gallon would be around 68 pesos per gallon or around $3.40 per gallon, so you do the math if driving across the US is a better deal or not (uncertain of gas prices in your area).

Not telling you what to do but forecasting what I would like best as I age, I would somehow get across the border and buy a series of bus tickets with no intercity run longer than about 6-8 hours and create an interesting matrix of stop overs and inexpensive hotels all along the way. The buses have bathrooms and almost all beat the heck out of a car seat. Plus you can actually watch the scenery. Anyway before I go further, it depends on what they want before I can offer advise. You know, do they want to tour the copper canyon, to get here as fast as possible without sight seeing on the way down, do they want to skirt the beach initially, well there are too many options.
