San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico and points south
Anyone with experience driving from San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico, or even further south? I know there are terrible tales of travel thereabouts but wonder if it is mostly an urban myth.

OP. Don't listen to the naysayers. They are afraid of their own shadows. and they know nothing of Mexico or the Baja for sure.
I have spent the last three months in the baja driving from one end to the other. Am currently in Loreto heading back north. I have logged more than 2500 miles down here.
All of it, even the few interactions with checkpoints and the police have been completely POSITIVE.
The driving is easy, dont be fooled by all the talk of scary narrow roads...yes some of Hwy 1 is narrow but if you can drive your vehicle competently you will have no problem...I have seen quite a few class A drivers down here that I consider should NOT be driving a vehicle that large and they still make it despite their inability to back it into a space 20 feet wide and 40 long.
I enjoy driving here the roads are incredibly scenic for the most part and I have been hauling my now longer 33 foot trailer.
(I just had a big bumper added and a box for my generator made in La Paz causing my trailer to get longer)
Dont' let the fraidy cats and panty waists hold you back. the Baja is easy, safe, extremely friendly and very very beautiful.
Did I mention warm...it was 90 yesterday coming from Puerto San Carlos to Loreto.
Just GO.
