Today I once again was woken up with a loud noise. It wasn't a rooster, it was a chainsaw! After a good laugh I took my bike in and had the guy disarm the automatic starter and top off the oil. We asked him if he heard anything about Baja and he basically said to be really careful. I forgot to mention that we met a guy while we were getting some coffee yesterday. He started asking about my bike and our travels. Once he found out we were going through Baja he suggested that we find a different route or be especially careful between TJ and Ensenada because of all the highway robberies. I checked out some reports online and it was true that it has been getting worse ever since they got a new governor. Paul and I went with our gut feeling and decided to go the main land route. We are staying in Yuma and will be heading out tomorrow with confidence that we won't be having any problems. I don't have a lot of time to write because we need to hit the road so I will update some of these with more detail later on.
