We're just the fatted calf in our four-bys..........

I guess the lesson is pass on the right.


Before you jump on the El Rosario locals, let's get some verification. BajaCactus (Antonio) has told me he confronted the local government with the post... Local businessmen in El Rosario will not tolerate anything like what was described... If it happened than 'ABG' will likely get a formal apolgy and reimbursment... If it didn't than I hope ABG will fess up and not hurt any other small Baja towns prosperity with exaggerated stories.


I calls em as I sees em, David. And I have seen it happen just the way I described. THE LOCAL DRIVERS AND THE LOCAL DELEGACION ARE THE LOCALS I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I wouldn't think of questioning the veracity of someone's post without any means of verifying it..........although YOU seem to have no problem doing it.

But, do you really think the delegacion guys are going to come clean when asked? Highly doubtful.

I commend Antonio for bringing it up to them, though, for future sake.

Well... I know Mexicans well enough from my lifetime of travels in Mexico and working with them almost every day... and THEY are not all banditos, ready to rob the fat cat gringos as they drive through little towns... sorry.

Instead of just making a wild claim on a public message board for some satisfaction, I would rather go straight to the source in El Rosario for some explanation. Afterall, we have been traveling to and through El Rosario for years and this is the first extortion claim against local police I have heard of. Let's be fair, is all I am saying. IF the local police did this to ABG, then they should be punished!
