You don't go to Baja, at least not anymore since you moved to Arizona. So, why do you post on the board?
Just to insult everyone and/or scare them from going to Baja?
I ask this, as these are the only types of threads you ever start. Never a trip report, never a positive story about a memory from the past. Not
even a single photo.
Such a weird bird you are.

Did incident really happen at ''6:30 in the afternoon''?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Baja crime has not yet reached the level seen on mainland... but since things are getting worse, perhaps just a matter of time??
The article is from last year, but has some relevant comments on highway robbery....
| Quote: | ‘After a 20-year relationship, I’m giving up on Mexico’
After property invasions, cartel impunity, criminal banks and incompetence at the top it's time to go
Mexico has turned over entire states to the cartel. If I told someone that I could not drive from Texas to Mississippi because Louisiana had been
taken over by criminals, they would look at me as if I had two heads. Never would the U.S. allow criminals to take over a highway much less an entire
state. If a cartel attempted to set up a roadblock on a highway in the U.S., a SWAT team of snipers would kill them all within an hour.

From my view, Baja crime was worst about 15 or so years ago. Seems to have gotten better since.
A life of fears leads to a death bed of regrets.
Find someone who will take care of you, and take care of them.

I can only address whats going on in the Tijuana-Ensenada corridor, the area that the original post is about and yeah I get that most Nomads don't
give a ratsazz its just a place they have to drive thru to get to their little chunk of paradise. true 15 years ago it was worse we all remember the
bodies hanging off the overpasses, cartels attacking and killing entire police departments, but I don't recall so much crime against tourists and
citizens likes whats going on now! I only read mexico news sources and it seems like these crimes are sure on the upswing, I know I try not to be
out after the street lights come on, but thats just me
there's only two things in life but I forget what they are........

I like those areas too!
I actually was thinking about Ensenada, Valle Trinidad and the Compadre Trail. I personally know people who had very serious incidents in those areas
in that time frame. And yes I also remember the incidents you refer to as well as the assassination of a presidential candidate.
There were also persons killed just north of San Quintin and I also recall a guy and his rig that disappeared from the Bay of Conception on his way
north after the 1000, although I do not know if that was foul play or not, and another friend of mine from high school disappeared in Los Barriles.
Was going to raise my kids as much as I could in Baja (they both had their first Thanksgivings down here) until everything seemed to get out of hand.
Other than Christmas at Gonzaga Bay, for the most part, we stopped regularly coming down until more recently. It really feels better to me now,
although I would no longer drive at night.
Actually, Los Barriles incident was in the 90's.
