For sure there is much more violence on the frontera.

Just seemed to be a trend of what is heading north from cabo.

How many bales washed up on the beach?

How about the frag grenades? Are they a common commodity in Mexico?

I'm thinking that BCS is the vacation and playground headquarters for the Mexican elite, including the suppliers of contraband. Don't poop on your porch!!! As compared to Baja "Norte", I read and hear little about day to day drug issues down here. Obviously, the problem exists. Maybe they are just trying harder to fly under the radar.

The drug problem covers the length and breadth of Mexico. many years ago, at least 10 I was told by the bartender at the Loreto Presidente? The big hotel on the beach north of the main town, that there was a drug problem in Loreto. When he realized, what he was saying he clamed up. I've always had a good time in Baja, and I want to keep it that way, so in Jan I will be vacationing in Fiji, and in July Hawaii.

HUGE meth problem in Hawaii. And yes, there is violence and property crime associated with it. Fiji? No idea, but I have left skin on some reefs there.
