For the first time in "FOREVER" I am thinking I want to caravan with someone early next month from Mulege thru San Felipe and San Luis to Yuma....
Towing a really nice jeep that gets a lot of attention. Would like to have it to use in Colorado this summer...
Maybe just being a little too much paranoid but just think traveling in numbers might be better....
We have never been thinking this way before...
Oh well, do what we gotta do.....
Have a great summer all.....

Golly Gee, Chuckie,
You are making some assumptions here....stating facts and challenging a myth is what I was doing....no disrespect meant to Mamma Espinosa.
I question whether she originated the phrase as well as whether or not it has any validity.
Sorry to upset your turnip cart....
"Hoser" is a bit of a term of endearment popular in the 80's thanks to Second City TV (Canadian version, eh)....and seems to remain as a rather
limited view of Canadian humour south of the 49th....
Ta ta for now, old chap, I will be oot and aboot for the rest of the day...
Don't believe everything you think....

Friends that were at Jardines said local police, federalies, and military vehicles were there and blocked off the access... did not say anything about
gunfire although the hummers had the big guns on them...
They must have gone room to room and told folks to stay in the room..
Rattled them somewhat but now are back in crazy California... where there is probably no gunfire.... huh????

Atta boy Ged! Keep the staples in the stapler. When are you planning to head south again, and more importantly, talk normal again?

Ged is a very sensitive chap, eh? Not a bad guy for a Canadian..He's come a long way from Saskatchewan, stopped leaning into the wind a while
ago....He always tells me the same thing, when I call him "hoser"..If he just drank beer....

You are correct and it's been going on for awhile now but kept hush hush for a number of reasons. Gringos bring a lot of cash into Mexico, bad press
they want kept hidden and we know why. Same way with the Gringo business owners down there, that's the last thing they want/need...

Reality is hard to face, especially when money is involved..There have been over 40 shootings in that area so far this year. The discussions center
around rationalizing the whys and wherefores..The fact remains...It is dangerous and people deserve to know it. Then THEY must figure out how to deal
with it..

The way you handle a post like this is just ignore it and treat it as BS.
If the OP can't be bothered to provide a link to such a shooting, or at least specific details of the event, and exact location, then the post
deserves a call of BS, until they back up their claim.
You can't just throw out a name like Jardines, and expect everyone to know where it's at. It could be a city, hotel, or even a nickname.
It's always laughable to see comments about a big cover-up about shootings in Mexico, and thinking US News outlets should be picking up all these
shooting even in small Baja cities,
The fact is the local Mexican media, does pick up many of these shootings in the local papers, and the US media picks up the stories that make
headlines, or hold wide interest .

Most US campers I bump into up North believe there is too much violence in Mexico and Baja and the country is unsafe to visit.
There are nomads who use to visit Baja but are now too frightened to return.
I feel their pain. Baja isn't for everyone. If I were that afraid, I wouldn't visit Baja either.
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.

Sorry, my post should have included the word, or instead of and.
Here is the new updated version I meant:

Does anyone know what happened yet?
Were two people shot and killed somewhere in San Quintin.
Was it at or near Jardines?
