Met an older gentleman in Loreto other day in grocery line. Asked where he was from. Said used to live in Mulege, but got tired of the "crime" and
moved to Loreto. What the heck is he talking about?? He said something about was tired of getting "broken into"?????? That's second time now I've
heard this in past year. Mulege residents. What is going on up there?? Is there not any law enforecement?? Please enlighten me.

That's funny...
They had Pacifico for Salvador and me when we were there in March...
Maybe it's just you?

have you got a spare copy of "Great Italian War Heroes" lying around.
Hook...as a matter of fact, yes I do...
Pompano - 3-29-2005 at 05:08 AM
it's right here on my bookshelf next to: 'French Hospitality'.

Sharksbaja - 3-29-2005 at 03:05 PM
I hear Cabo is the place to be for less crime
I have also lost my copy of......

PETA's Western Style BBQ Book.
backninedan - 3-29-2005 at 03:27 PM
While searching for the BBQ book I stumbled on a copy of the
"Wit and Wisdom of George Bush"
backninedan...this one will go well with your Bush Book..

My November copy of 'The World's Shortest Books' titled: "Al Gore...The Wild Years."
We have badly hijacked a most serious post

In closing, I'd just like to pay my respects to Alfred E. Newman who, in my recollection, first camp up with this humorous concept in Mad's Library of
Extremely Thin Novels.
BTW, I still have an original hardbound copy of Kenneth Lay's classic "Ethics in Business-The Enron Model" that I would be willing to swap if anyone
has Hugh Hefner's quintessential "Women's Guide to Winter Fashions". But it MUST be a first edition!!!!!
Getting back to the original thread...in a most roundabout way....
Pompano - 3-29-2005 at 08:08 PM
The law is still in force in Mulege and this usually quiet village is still a very safe and secure place to live. But be cognizant that the world in
Baja is changing every year and adjust accordingly..as you would in Naknek, Alaska or Pengweno, Solomon Islands.
Also, I have it on strict authority that Pacifico is not, nor ever has been, sold at the Pelicano Reef Bar in the plaza. So there!
I have encountered high crimes...
Mexray - 3-29-2005 at 08:29 PM
and misdemeanors right there in down-town Mulege - right next to Los Pelicanos, to boot!!!
Upon returning from one of Val's great hamburgesa's (1/2 pounders - yum), I found our Bronco had been vandalized! Some local, mean spirited types had
stolen all the valve covers off our wheels!!!
Now that's real CRIME - and right there in river city...really ticked me off - them valve covers were purple colored, annealed alum jobs I'd bought
at Wal-Mart's close-out counter for a buck! should have known better...
And you're right - no Pacifico's for us weary types there at Los Pelicanos...boo, hoo...what is this world coming too?

I can't belive I could be wrong on such an IMPORTANT item.....
Bruce R Leech - 3-31-2005 at 09:36 AM
that is to funny Pompano. I wonder what he is dreaming about?
Pompano....
Mexray - 3-31-2005 at 12:26 PM
I liked the way the original 'Pelicano' was painted! I think the 'exposed brick' - old time 'look' fit into Mulege's Plaza much better.
That new 'white-washed' building with the red openings just doesn't get it with me! Tecate probably chipped in to fund the new paint job, which then
makes it even WORSE...I'll just have to switch to Ron y Coca's and swill my Pacifico's back on the beach...
Sorry Val & Pierce...the burgers are the greatest - but the new paint job sucks... 
biggrin:
sschaneman - 10-17-2005 at 08:04 AM
Ok call me silly but reading between the lines (posts) I need to ask a simple yet Naive question coming from a very NEW member...
My husband and I are considering semi retiring to the Mulege area. He wants to continue working 3-4 months out of the year up in San Deigo, CA me I
just want to enjoy the sun, culture, margarita's etc. The thing is while he is up in the states are my killer attack miniture schnauzer's and I going
to be relatively safe?! Mind you I have survived Cabo in its crime ridden tourist season with two young children unscathed, but I think that Mulege is
more our families style once the kids are actually moved out...if ever. Any real advise would be greatly appreciated.
Phil S - 10-17-2005 at 08:21 AM
Those that stayed with my thread (a few) didn't really indicate that anything serious was going on (except for the tire valve cover bandits) But the
gentleman was very serious with his statement. I've spent much time in Mulege over the past fourteen years, and wouldn't worry about leaving my wife
alone with the "killer" kids!!!!! while I'd be out of town. There is a large 'gringo' population there, and a pretty tight nit group. Some "a little
strange" (you'll see them hanging out at the bars during the day) to others that would give their shirt off their back to help you out. It is easy to
figure out whom you would want to be associated with, and those you would want to "stay clear of". And don't base any judgement on what some of the
responders images they try to project over this chat room. Most of them are super people to know. Sometimes you'll find 'duds' in the peanut barrel
anywhere. Mulege is a quaint, interesting, small community that we consider our "other most favorite community in Baja Sur. Check it out.
sschaneman - 10-17-2005 at 08:30 AM
We definately intend to. Both my Husband & I are looking forward to "retirement" to a warm community after 20 yrs of being a waste water
treatment/ Water reclamation Contractor up in the Northwest where it seems to get colder and damper ever year! This site appears to have quite a bit
of knowledge to geen from. We have several places that we are lining up for next visit to Mexico in Mulege and in La Paz but I think the Mulege
community has more of what we are looking for culturally.
Phil S - 10-18-2005 at 08:17 AM
Well then. Don't leave out Loreto/Nopolo/Loreto Bay in your "looking around". We found Loreto 14 years ago, camped on the beach south of Tripui for
many years during the N.W. winters!!!! Five years ago, bought in Nopolo. We love Loreto!!!!!!! International airport. Very good medical/dental for a
small town. Lots of great restaurants. And a very nice gringo community thatis growing. (to some of the nomads, that would be a turn off) But for us.
We enjoy the dual exposure. Mexican influence for a 'second culture', and gringo exposure for the other stimulant. Spend some time in Loreto. You'll
love it. And Mulege is a great community also.
Stolen valve caps
jrbaja - 10-18-2005 at 10:07 AM
are an unquestionable indication that organized crime has finally hit Mulege! Be careful!!
Tecate is known for it's generosity and painting entire buildings, interior and exterior if you are a distributor. They also supply plastic chairs,
umbrellas, and goodies for parties if you use their beer.
sschaneman - 10-18-2005 at 11:01 AM
I would love to find out more about the area. I have read a lot of the things off the internet but nothing compares to 1st hand knowledge of someone
whos been there or lives there. Has anyone heard of or know Bob Carey with Pure Baja Adventures. He and his wife Zulema Mesa Cuesta have a place
listed for sale. Been trying to contact them about it.
Still trying to decide if we should just build or try to find something when we visit.
Unless you have spent some time
jrbaja - 10-18-2005 at 11:11 AM
in Baja, or any of the towns down here, I would recommend looking around before making any decisions on locations and building or buying.
There are many differences between all the towns, each with their pros and cons that you will not be aware of through knowledge shared through the
internet.
The one thing they do have in common is that they are all pretty.
comitan - 10-18-2005 at 11:17 AM
Bob Cary is in La Paz, and there are many homes and real estate offices in La Paz. If you don't like the big city there are places Like centenario
that is out of town but close enough for shopping, many mexicans are moving to this area just to get out of the city.
rpleger - 10-18-2005 at 05:25 PM
I don't like the crime in Mulege but if it keeps anymore people from moving here than I will overlook it as long as I am not involved. Please spred
the word.
