    PROBLEM IN BAJA PT. 2

    I like to cause problems (e.g. perpetuating this thread). Yet I remain trouble-free flying to/driving through Baja. My first stop is at least as far S. as El Rosario. SO I'm just wondering if anyone has horror stories south of Ensenada, especially from the last 15 years?

    I know of the "Mulege Bandit" and isolated wanna-be cartel Cabo incident. I've traveled extensively through BCS, and misbehaved when appropriate. But I've never been a dick because that's wrong regardless of locale. And whether I'm stumbling through Cabo dawn, lost in SJ or La Paz hoods, or camping solo in the middle of nowhere, I feel more safe there than in the U.S..

    Knock on wood, let me know -- MP

    I've traveled all over Baja and have NEVER had any problems south of Ensenada. Well unless you count running out of beer or getting sunburned a problem

    I would expect no less from you! Any chance you'll be around Cabo/E. Cape in September? Big tuna and surf roosters? Did I mention I NEVER travel w/o extra Tecate y SPF 50?

    Obviously. Where does that not apply?! I can't tell if that's a well-intentioned warning or a subtle "I-got-fucked-this-one-time." If the latter, details would help the rest of us avoid a similar situation. Thanks.

    Derek, see you next Feb! La Vida, the Avalanche holds 5 cases of beer w/ice, leaving the cooler open for meat!

    ive been fishing, surfing and hanging frequently in baja for almost 30 years... pretty much as long as i can remember. everywhere from TJ down to cabo and back... never had a single problem except figuring out how to compensate the beautiful people down there for being so damn cool and helpful.

    it irks me that the place gets such a shitty rap. but at the same time i look at all the bad pub as a kook-filter, which is definitely a good thing for people like myself who enjoy going down there and scoring epic fishing/surf without having to deal with crowds and douche bags.

    X3.......filters out the ___________

    I love Baja been going since 1974 my wife(girl friend at that time) and I flew into Punta Colorado in a 4 seater......got the fever and have never stopped going....

    Biggest problem....we ran out of ice one time at San Francisquito and the generator at the hotel was out......cool beer is imo still better than no beer....

    the yellowtail were WFO and made up for it...
