^^^ Spent 30+ years in the San Diego area. I have been all over Baja camping and fishing, both Pacific and Sea Of Cortez. Ever since the Mexican cartel's took over from the Colombians, circa 2000, Mainland Mexico has been unsafe, since around 2010 Baja is questionable.
Then again, would not want to find myself is most major US cities either. Sorry if I just stepped over the wp/n&p boundary.
