I was tempted to move to Southern CO for the end of summer/fall but its hard to do short-term, gotta be a little self-sufficient due to the isolation factor. Can I ask where you were in Baja? I'm thinking about going there in the summertime.
Ensenada. Beautiful out in the hills but very sleepy. Colorado beats it by a mile. Security wise it's been okay for a month but the undercurrent of fear about it online and among people I've met here is not great, as is having a lower level of trust in rule of law and police here in general.
Thank you, good to know. Would like to find somewhere remote to surf but might just stick to the US.
