Oh Gawd.... you are so lost with this issue. Go over to TalkBaja and play in the sand. It's a safe environment. |

If you arn't prepared to offer proof to that point, you should retract it.

according to where you are. The military/Police inspections in Baja, yes more so than on the 5, 805, BUT they are doing their jobs for very little
pay. Overall, if one does have a break down here you are more likely to have a good samaritan stop to assist than in the states and the Mexican people
are more trusting than the Americans. JMHO................ |
not true. i think good samaritans occur in about same proportion in US and mex rural areas; and US and mex urban areas. big cities are big cities,
doesn't matter where you are. you people are dreaming if you think rural mexico is more friendly rural US. there are rural places in mexico where
banditos will clean your pockets and leave your body on side of road for dogs to eat -- can't think of similar rural areas in US.

They sure don't have to give Dennis a breathalyzer test. They just have to read his posts. He goes from ridiculous to really stupid. You can almost
count the drinks.

Gypsy Jan, THANK YOU for sharing a good experience here in Baja, many more are needed to be heard by the media up there, not just the negative. Just
wanted to add this before I drop this particular thread.

I sure agree with this. I have had a tremendous amount of positive experiences with the people here. There have been a couple negatives but those were
my own fault.

War zone.. day before yesterday... had a duce and a half, with a platoon of feller's in the back of the truck.. they were armed and ready.. this is
the third time they have been inside the compound where we stay...
Descanso Bay is an area of consolidation and continued shipping point for "materials" moving north.. Ensenada, then La Salina.. to Primo Tapio.. then
Popotola ... Rosarito ... next stop TJ.. then across the border... that would appear to be the general movement up the coast from Ensenada...
Have not been to the south, and really don't know the traffic pattern.. seems like planes to dry lake beds from outside the Country for coke.. the
pot, meth, ice and H are produced within Mexico.. saw where a large growing area was popped out side SQ a few months back.. under roof and high end
production facility for pot.. and pot makes up over half the "materials" being moved north... half..
As for the week before.. a truck load came in at around 3-4 was here in the area doing sweeps... arrested two guy's.. the soldiers were all wearing
black masks...
And the first run was sometime back.. when they were working a bit to the south in the Rancho Reynoso Nursery just north of the bridge by Cantamar ...
they, the military hassled some folks, on that pice, made them get out of their houses for a search...
As for me.. I opened all my windows.. rolled up the blinds.. and got up from bed, and took my two dogs and when outside, so they could see up front
who was in this house, and what they might have to "fear" for an old man just getting by with a cane and two stupid dogs... the troops were about 100'
from my house.. told the dogs to shut up, and they did.... so even they knew it was no joke with these guys and the guns..
There is no doubt in my mind about the "war" that is going on related to the drugs.... and where I'm living appears to be a staging area for the
movement..
Hope they have taken good notes on my location, and my age and physical condition.. and put that into future ops..
I try and keep my head down.. just in case of friendly fire.. I don't really worry about it... but, at the same time.. I try and put that up front,
along with the suggestion not to stop if someone hits your car with a rock.. good idea.. just keep driving ... bondo will do wonders .... that can be
fixed.. hole in my head.. will I will say it, another hole in my head is not needed... I have a hard enough time already...
Will just add in, even with all that, I like it better down here than I do up North.. can't really put my finger on it just yet... but, I just feel
more relaxed down here, a lot of reasons.. .... wish I could say it was the beer.. but, I can't drink.. cuz of all this stupid medication I take..
every single one tells me not to use alcohol .... you want to talk about hell.... and tobacco is out too.. as is just about everything else I used to
like...
So everyone have one for me today or four... maybe it will make me feel better if someone has a few and is enjoying themselves at a bar some place,
or there home or some place outside as it's going to be another beautiful day outside, spring is here.. soft air, warm sun.. green grass and plants..
flowers.. just really great...
Salud!

We have been going to Baja Norte for over 20 years. Love it, never had a problem and the people are beautiful. Yes the good out weigh the bad and yes
the US has as many bad.

We lost our dog in an accident driving up the Baja (I have been posting about it here since it happened in January) and so many "Nomads" as well as
the locals in the surrounding areas have been so kind and helpful. We still have yet to find Pickle, but we could not have done all of the searching
without "the kindness of strangers." Thank you.

Amy,
Glad you posted. I'll be driving through the area Monday on my way to BCS. I'll keep my eyes open. It's the stretch between Catavina and Bahia de Los
Angeles, right?

Yes k-rico! Thank you! My parents were just through there about a week ago. They posted new flyers. I raised the reward to $1000 uds! I just pray he
turns up.
Thank you for your help and your hope!
Safe travels!

Once near Cataviņa I stopped to help two elderly Mexican ladies in an old beater of a car. I didn't have any tools with me but they had some and I was
able to get them going again. I took the tools as payment (which they weren't too happy about) and it's a good thing because a couple days later I
used them when I broke down and had to fix my own car.
