not afraid to visit baja sur at all. The first time there rented a car and traveled all over, to todos, la paz, and all points between. Never felt
unsafe even when lost in the barrios. The roads can be a bit scary, one laners in the mountains with blind curves. A bit nervos one time around ribera
when we went down the wrong road and at the end found a ranch to ask where we were and a guy, a gringo, came around with a hunting bow arrow strung.
more worried about having to pay a mordida to a cop. or get ripped off when leaving the car places. More afraid of breaking down in a isolated area,
as we like to travel the unbeaten paths and isolated beaches. most people have no clue as they have never gone there. Most experiance the resorts and
never venture any further. they miss out on everything baja. a resort is a resort, a pool and trucked in trees could be anywhere in the world you
wouldn,t know the difference if you never left it. I like adventure and resorting is not an adventure. I have never been hassled other than the beach
vendors if I am in cabo. I felt fearful when I was in the bahamas and tried to do some venturing around. mexico not at all, only a feeling of wow
this is awesome. |
