Story Time.....


Nomads,
On the "Baja Questions and Answers" section, I have recently asked questions about getting alternative insurance for rental cars in Mexico. One of the interesting stories that indirectly came out of that thread for me was the following story:

I am not trying to create more panic and fear with this story .... just want to share an interesting read.

The moral of the story for me is...:
"He should have stayed one more day in Bahia de los Angeles and done more fishing!" :light:

Maybe this is an old read for some....great entertainment....glad it wasn't me....

Cabo Ron,
I watched a cowboy movies last night with Henry Fonda and Glen Ford called The Rounders (I thinks) that was shot in early 60's near Sedona....and it looked like that mountain in the background....where is your mountain???

That's one expensive dive trip, how can a country bordering ours malfunction so often? I might add that I was always under the impression that if any thing goes wrong, it's time to "bolt for the border" anyone else head of this method of dealing with corupt officials? I wonder if the good vagabundo that stopped would have given him a ride to within walking distance of the border and saved him a lot of problems and money.You've got to wonder about a society that produces public servents that would prey upon victims that are most vunerable. Sorry but someones got to say it.
