John M, TacoFeliz, an old Baja hand, and I (four vehicles) got back from a week in Baja March 31. We were as far down as El Arco and had no problems.
There was an unexpected Federal (only) checkpoint somewhere on a lonely stretch of Hwy. 1. Uneventful and fun trip. Trip report soon.

Thanks Bajagringo for bringing a bit of reason to this thread. It started as a panicked flame. In the end it was no verifiable threat to norte
Americanos. Sad for the locals caught in the local crime spree...but NO Threat to others can be documented.

Even if they are targeting locals, the fact that such an element exists does warrant concern. Reports of several arrests do make me feel better
however I still would suggest taking extra precaution when traveling along lonely sections of highway.
You never know when you will come across a desperate bandido or even an overly zealous border patrol agent...

Always be vigilent when in territory where there is no rule of law.

From a user that I believe hit the "Report" button on one of the posts to add an additional road "report" of this area.... I'll leave the username out
in case I misunderstood....

Message: I apologize for this very late report. My wife and I passed through the El Rosario to Guerro Negro highway on the 13th. We were constantly
passing military vehicles. If there was a problem with banditos in that area, this message board may have had an impact. In 33 years of peninsula
travel, I've never seen that heavy of a military presence.

Of course, there's gonna be some complainer who hates getting stuck behind slow moving military convoys.
