Without going back through the thread, I seem to recall you having a couple close shaves with shady situations
But I honestly did enjoy this thread, its a legit HOF candidate IMO

Most of Mexico is pretty safe. It's just the areas near the US border, and Guerrero and Michoacan that are problems right now. And I still new tons of travelers who went through Guerrero and Michoacan with no problems. Baja south of TJ, Central Mexico and the Yucatan are as safe as the US.
You generally want to avoid Belize City south of the river, San Salvador, Guatemala City, and Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula in Honduras. But that's not super different than a lot of US inner cities.
My only real close shave was in Nicaragua - which is actually a very safe country wrt crime. But they had protest road blocks blocking all travel. So I got stuck on the Caribbean side for a week, wondering if I would ever get out, then had to talk my way through a bunch of road blocks to make it to Costa Rica.
