Baja: North to South and South to North

A few rambling thoughts on the perspective of distance.

Those of who live close to Baja often have our perceptions f the region clouded by the media. Recent sensational articles have overstated the case for alarm in the race for headlines.

We recently came across two different articles that are very interesting and informative.

The first is a story published in the UK where the writer drove from Cabo to San Diego and the second is a Canadian writer who drove from Tijuana to Cabo.

Of interest is their perspective on the Baja stories. Very practical - avoid driving on roads at night. The biggest risk is from cattle on the roads and narrow shoulders.

The links to the two articles:
