Cpeebiles, I travel to Baja once or twice a year. I have never had a problem with the authorities, love the people, food and the land. Lots of great places to camp. DavidK on the Nomads Site has lots of detailed info on camping spots, good Mile Post Info, roads to avoid, etc. As I said, I have never had a problem, I have been checked at some of the Military Check Points, but I know not to carry my gun, ammo or drugs into Baja, so no problem. You might consider a trip to San Felipe as a trial trip. I usually cross at Mexicali, it is an easy 2 hour trip on great roads. There are lots of Americans and Canadians there enjoying the area. Hmmmm, I think it is time for me to go again. JH 🙂
