Default Need to get from NY to Mexico CHEAP

This summer my friend and I are planning on backpacking through Mexico for 4-5 weeks. The only problem is that we are in upstate NY and mexico is way the hell far south.

Since we are both broke as hell we need a cheap way to at least get to the border, since trains inside of mexico are cheap. Flying is expensive (note that $200 each way is over budget here), trains are more expensive, driving is a distant option. There is a bus from NYC to El PAso for $99, it takes 48hours.

Anyways, the plan so far is to grow a pound of shrooms, drive to Boneroo(sp?) and sell them to aging hippies, then take thecash and hitch hike to the border.

If anyone can think of a better plan (probably not too hard) or knows of a way to get to the border for cheap please help me out.

LOL

Do you have any clue at all what you are going to do in Mexico, any specifics on where you will stay, etc. Do you have a passport and are you capable of keeping tabs on it for a whole month?

Umm, I've got a passport, not that you need one for Mexico from the US. But as far as travel plans go, I have none. Planning takes time and effort, we intend to go to a list of cities but otherthan that there are no specifics.

Who needs plans when there is ample tequilla and pot??

Still, what a dumb thing to say. Its still within 3% of all the other freaking private schools. Plus, if you are paying 40k to go to school, it seems ridiculous to not be able to invest a tiny bit of that to vacation for over a month.

Naw dude, I'm paying 50k/yr to go to school and I make about 3k a year. The rest is loans.

The point is that I'm poor as [censored] but am hell bent on going to Mexico, as such I need anyone's help in getting there.
