I'm hearing it is getting crazy in driving thru Sonoyta MX on route to Rocky Point.

Where are you getting this info? I can't find anything but old news about it.

I saw a Fox News story with a video of a lot of shooting in Sonoyta but don't know when it was taken. Unless other sources have something I'm assuming the Fox report is not current.

That is what I also saw.

We drove through Sonoyta last Monday about 11 am, 1/15, and it was quiet.

The video is posted by Fox and MSN. Fox video says "
Shootout between cartels and Mexican authorities in Sonoyta, Sonora.
Video shows Mexican national guard in shootout with cartels in Sonoyta, Sonora on Dec 29, 2023. (Video: @Michelle Rivera on X.)"

The MSN video doesn't give the date, but they're the same video

Bottom line is there are a lot of cartel gunmen in place and ready to fight from San Luis to Guaymas. Your change of getting shot by them is close to zero if you don't travel at night.
