...last resort of a desperate man, 7-11 can fulfill all your drunken needs, though you'll probably regret it. From that pack of cigarettes to those horrible nachos or, God forbid, the taquitos, 7-11's got you covered with it's 24-hour service. Warning: While you may run into your fair share of stoners here satisfying their slurpee and ice cream needs, don't even think about asking for rolling papers. It won't be well received.

Each year, they conduct an average of 70 rescues, according to Doug Meyer, the area's SAR coordinator. And even though most of the rescuers are volunteers, costs can still add up for equipment and resources - such as leasing a helicopter, and maintaining...
Some 900 miles south, at the tip of the Baja peninsula, the luxury resort area known as Los Cabos, is also suffering the drug backwash. But the issue there is not drug wars, but the kidnapping of the high-end tourist trade, which it has sought the last 10 years...
