Baja Cali Vacation ideas ?

Beautiful country and beautiful people!!!

Be aware that cartels area only a part of the problem.

I live near the Mexican border in Las Cruces, NM and am very familiar with much of the mayhem at the border and beyond.

With the the cartels came "more" lawlessness....

Since the general public is unarmed they are unable to protect themselves only law enforcement(?), military and criminals have guns and the public is at the mercy of all these.

EXTORTION/KIDNAPPING by locals of locals and visitors/foreigners is far greater problem.

It's a crime of opportunity where anybody with any sort of wealth is targeted by acquaintances, friends, relatives- doesn't matter

A co-worker whose wife is from Los Mochis, Sinaloa Mexico refuses to visit family there. Forget about owning a truck it will be "taken" from you at gun point. Her family members have been kidnapped an extorted of what little funds they have.

My wife and I used to go there and enjoy ourselves about 20 years ago, beautiful country and beautiful people....unfortunately, no more.

Maybe it's safer going there in groups.... Would definitely not drive my truck there.


PS During the cartel wars about 15-20 years ago another co-worker of mine had is brother assassinated in Juarez, Mx.

Never been the same and unfortunately the unarmed populus is at the mercy of armed criminals, law enforcement and military - pray this never happens in the USA

Be careful
