I agree with you Allan. It is really unfortunate. Back when I was a young lad… several decades ago, we went to Mexico all the time. Pops and I would go fish regularly. Through college we would go down there alot as well. In the 80’s and early 90’s I would regularly take my family camping as well. We would hit Bahia De Los Angeles and Guerrero Negro.
On the way back from one of those trips in the mid 90s things got sketchy with 3 stops at checkpoints by federales and another stop by people who were not federales but we had no clue who they were. That was our last trip and I have not gone down since. I have a good friend who still went regularly for surf and sailboard runs with his crew. In 2006 they were robbed at gunpoint of everything, boards, trailers, bikes, the entire 9 yards.
It is so beautiful down there and I have so many great memories of the place. I think Econ made good points from a macro-economic point of view. Personally I would never set foot down there again until things change dramatically.
