How sweet it is 
 
 
Remember  the new locked gate coyote to Mike's. Charging people to pass. Well a Mexican off road jeep group. Made a complaint  to state of Baja. It is
a right of travel  no matter the owner. They cannot charge money to pass or lock gate. The state dept  did in fact drive up there. Ordered the lock
removed  and heavy fines if charge people money to pass.

I would think they knew not legal to put up gate and lock it. The fence was torn down many times form people to pass.

no need Lencho to look up anything that route open over 60 years. Government  orders gates unlocked  do not charge people  to pass. That is law to me
you could argue with the government.   Good Luck amigo

Larry, your original post is  somewhat inconsistent with this later statement: 
 
"haha that would be good if there was law in Mexico. Sad to say not the case in this country." 
 
Just sayin'.

John is this way in Mexico for a gringo to quote law in Mexico . It is hit and miss do they enforce it . Do they not enforce it  is there  pay off to
the judge.Or how much Hassel do they make it for you to make a report . All of the above; getting back to gate. I would think this new gate that shut
down right of way. peeed off  one Mexican official. point is he has the power to reopen that gate. want to tell him what law you saw on line. Good
luck I'm  just happy. As this gate did make problems for ranchos to run  cattle.  So here we have family  v family no one wants that.

Selective enforcement of laws?  Money buys favorable legal decisions?  Reporting is a hassle and traumatizing for the victim (think rape cases)? 
 
Same thing happens all the time in the US as well.  Nothing new under the sun.

Have any of you off roaders . Gone from Mike's to  route South  to  fork Dark sky inn. Then  route that by passes dark sky to pavement. Then down to
Coyote back way in trail?  I have not done it in a year . Can't wait to hit it again. Coyote to Mike's not enjoyable anymore. Since last rains many
rock steps now as rain  washed away dirt.
