      @@LifeontheBlacktop I felt safer in Baja than I do in downtown Calgary. No drug problems, very few people living on the streets. The locals are very friendly and for the most part, exceptionally honest. I met some people there who I consider friends. The military keep Baja safe for residents and visitors and Mexican people from the mainland vacation in Baja because it’s safer. And I never experienced any cartel actions. You have nothing to worry about.
