Unfortunately, so do I.
If the report of ranchers abandoning their ranches is true, to me this would say a lot. I think it would be foolish for me to go on a hike where I
would be counting on water sources at some of these ranches, or even just having the ranches be on my route.

If you are seeing “multiple” reports of ranchers abandoning ranches, may be due to the drought. Last year has been severe drought…
Woke!
Hands off!

The only online report of this that I have found so far, is the one linked by BajaNomad earlier in this thread:
"Many ranch owners have already abandoned their properties, having been displaced by criminals."
This could be interpreted as the ranches having already been abandoned for some other reason, like drought, but it seems unambiguous as far as
criminals now occupying those ranches.
Earlier this year, John (Fatboy) hiked into the area of an abandoned marijuana farm, not realizing it was there beforehand. Harald posted a satellite
image of the place, and said that John was lucky it had been abandoned. I think hiking into a place like this, or any place occupied by criminals, and
you might be fortunate to survive.

Was there a post here on BN about it? I'm wondering if it's the same place I stumbled upon a few years ago (?)

This post? 2025 El Camino Real Trip (part 1)
In my short Baja adventures, I have come across one active pot farm, and (probably) one inactive one.

The link above should take you to the thread. You will need to scroll down to see Harald's satellite image of the abandoned pot farm, near the bottom
of the page.
