Here and I thought you were just a fishing guru. This is just classic, thank you.

I have been traveling Baja for a lot of years and have not had one incident involving police, or violence. For every episode of that gets sensationalized in the press and media, I can give you 5 first hand experiences when the people of Mexico have gone out of their way to assist this old language challenged gringo. One cannot stop along the side of the highway for a pit stop or a dog walk and have a car pass by without stopping to make sure you are OK. Unless of course that passing car is a gringo. I have had two vehicle issues in all my driving down here. One flat tire and one dead battery. Both times a local would not necessarily ask if I needed help; they would just flat take ownership of the problem and not move on ne until it was fixed. Driving to o a Laker game is when I get scared. Driving through Irvine after a little rain gives me nightmares.
