I-5 or I-805 ? Nothing on the news about any random pullovers of tourists by fake cops, or killing of police officers or police chiefs... What is so
dangerous about the San Diego Airport to the Border...
If you can convince me it is safer to travel on 1-D than I-5, I will return to Baja in 7 days!

Well, when Nena and Ferna do fess up about the crime on San Diego's highways, I will drop my threat of a Baja trip!
Oh, what the hay... I can't stay away!!! Baja, here I come!!! 
Judy, what do you want to do with my VivaBaja site?
Heck, I don't even mess with it... my web host won't let me access it until I actually know html. So, only he or Doug can make changes! Do you like
the new homepage look? (I see that all of the Baja web sites hosted by electraweb are down today)

No, David, I did not pull my reply. It's right back there where it always was.

Don't open a wallet and flash cash in public no matter where you are. Figure out what your puchase is going to cost and separate that amount for the

Sounds like the common sense I use in my travels in Irvine. |
Yeah, right, Gull.

Pathetic association on your end. I wasn't offering facts about Irvine, I already know it has more crime than Baja. Thanks for proving it. I said I
took the same precautions in Irvine as were recommended in Baja. Reading is fundamental. You should try it some time.

Nena, you are right, I was thinking Ferna posted that 'news' about 'danger' on the U.S. side and you commented on it. It wasn't something that sounded
like an American would say about San Diego. It was the other way around (I will edit my comment about you pulling the reply, as you haven't given me
one yet!) LOL
I guess I am still waiting for you answer?

By the way, your quote is from bajajudy, not me... I didn't 'change' anything other that to correct a mistake about you pulling a reply, you didn't...
I agreed with you.

It was a joke? Oh, then Judy had it right, all along!! You did so well with making sound serious, too! FOOLED ME!!! 
Good job Nena.. and Ferna too for agreeing with you (or your brother?) about the dangers NORTH of the border! 
Have a great day... I am off to another appointment, bye!

No, nothing in the news about that. David, were did you hear news or mention about random pullovers of tourists and killings of police officers or
chiefs on I-5 or 805? I waqs waiting for Hugo Torres in the news and they said nothing.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

Gee, have Irvine property values dropped as much as your Gauntlet digs because of all the 'crime' in Irvine?
Are you seriously saying that Irvine is more dangerous than The Gauntlet?

Another failed attempt at logic
Hook,
It is simple, but it escapes you. Being personally safe in any environment is similar to lessons about safe driving. Being defensive does lower the
risk. That's all my post dealt with.
It doesn't matter to you, but Irvine property values and those of much of South Orange County are dropping faster than Baja.
You can't understand it, I know, but it does have everything to do with lending in the US by people who will soon be prosecuted for criminal actions
just like in the S&L and energy scams from recent history. Then again, you don't acknowledge crime in the US, do you?
What if this string dealt with a poll which said: "How many Americans living in Baja have changed their minds and want to return to the crime free and
economically stable United States?" Fairy tale? Maybe.

You wont have to worry about replys from me in the future.

Never did worry about responses from you. You take yourself too seriously. Others don't, so why should you, Mr. Serling?

Per my trip report this morning, I have not had a problem. 30+ trips from Ensenada to San Diego and back in '07 have been without incident. Why?
1. Free Road, 95% of time
2. '89 Jeep Cherokee "classic" is my rig.
3. I will happy hour in Rosarito and Ensenada, but usually get home by 9PM
4. Was stopped once for speeding on toll road, pulled over just south of last toll both in north "nada". FM-3 and conversation about my construction
let me off with a warning.
5. I'm not covering up or minimizing problems. But, for wonderful vacations and a great living environment, Ensenada is perfect for me.
