Three Cardinals and one Beech Baron, and eleven people participated in this
year's CFO Baja fly-in. A twenty five percent increase over last year! 
Sadly, Mexico flying seems to be polarized between the folks who have been
there and enjoy it, and those who have never been there, but know the
banditos will get you in that evil place. Heck, those latter folks may have
even eaten a taco once, so their views are qualified. 
In the few days preceding the fly-in, it was suggested that instead of
meeting at Calexico, California, at noon on Friday, that we would instead
meet at San Felipe, Mexico mid morning for customs. 
Customs went smoothly at San Felipe, even though there were lots of planes
(the Mooney group does their fly-in this same weekend). I filled up with
$3.85 gal gas, and we last two planes departed for Mulege. 
Parking the planes next to the hotel is very handy, and in a few minutes
the swarm of eager young baggage boys had our suitcases wisked off. We all
met that evening for cocktails and dinner at the hotel. 
After lunch in El Fuerte (a good launching point for the Copper Canyon
train ride), we followed the western shoreline of mainland Mexico back home
to San Diego, with a stop at Gyamas for fuel.
