So with a new wave of people mentioning violence in Baja, Mexico, I thought I'd voice a single sentence or two about what I think of going to Baja right now:
GO TO BAJA, but stay away from the cities! The violence is happening in towns and cities (many border towns like tijuana and rosarito), but if you head south for a few hours and find a desolate beach after hitting up a grocery and liquor store (cheaper food/liquor prices) then you'll be just fine. Camp with a few people and preferably more than 1 vehicle or within site of other campers. I went down right before New Years and couldn't have had a better time camping. We jammed out of TJ and Rosa real quick avoiding main streets and such, but after that we didn't see anyone and when we stopped at little taco stands, they were VERY nice and even appreciative of our business...
I'd love to hear your thoughts on going to Mexico amid all the news of violence. Also - if you live down there, please let us know what you think!
