I have 2 questions, a quick one and a more complicated one: 1) quick question: is/was there ever a checkpoint on the Caborca highway for people coming from Hermosillo/Nogales/etc? I think there would have to be because anyone coming from east of Penasco could turn onto Freemont before reaching...

Thanks brokenwave. I've been thinking about how and when we can slowly "open up" again, and I can't figure out how that happens prior to a vaccine being widely available (which is probably a year away). The only alternative I see would be to re-open slowly so the medical care system is not...

Question to anyone living in PP or who has been there recently: To what extent are the beaches closed? Is it to the point where they literally will not let anyone step foot on the beach in any place along the ocean (i.e. public beaches, condos, houses)? Or are they just banning large groups of...

My wife is Mexican and her family has mentioned when the peso notes were changed, looks like 3 zeros were dropped from the peso on Jan 1, 1993. This does not change the value of the currency, it is just meant to simplify pricing and accounting by avoid ridiculously high denominations for...

http://www.numerounoonline.com/new/index.php/noticias/puerto-penasco/8139-autoriza-cbp-carril-sentri-en-lukeville All in Spanish but Mayor Kiko confirmed the SENTRI lane will definitely be completed on the US side. However, the letter from CBP indicates that the project is contingent on Mexico...

https://tides4fishing.com/mx/sonora/puerto-penasco I like this one, and it seems accurate based on the times I've used it. You have to scroll towards the bottom and it has a printable tide table.

Almost everyone in Mexico with a smart phone uses whatsapp so that is the best way when possible. But for a regular text message the easiest way to guarantee the correct dialing while roaming is to ignore the 1, 01, 001 etc and just use +52 and then the number, i.e. +52-638-123-4567. On iphone...

FYI, I got an email today from Hacienda del Sol furniture that an Ashley Home Store just opened next store to HDS and they have a 25% sale through the end of December. I had previously looked at some Ashley pieces but never pulled trigger due to prices being somewhat inflated compared to the US...

https://rockypoint360.com/campaign-seeks-signatures-to-encourage-sentri-lane-at-lukeville-sonoyta-crossing/ In the article it mentions current plan is 2023, I still wonder how they would manage Sentri traffic versus "normal' traffic. You would need a dedicated Sentri lane going way back into...

There was a small commotion on the beach this morning before we headed back and we realized it was because a local ecological group was releasing 80 sea turtle hatch-lings right in front of the resort! I am going to try to post a couple videos I took below.

Thank God this was a Fishing post, I thought it was a follow-up to the Pedophile thread...

Based on my impressions its the kind of place that wouldn't have a problem with BYOB as long as you're not making a big deal about it. From what I've seen, Pollo Lucas is kind of the same way. If you bring in a small lunchbox cooler and are just "chilling out", I don't think its a big deal. If...

There are 2 sides to the Mexico violence "argument" that can both be true at the same time: (A) certain types of shocking events such as mass graves/assassination of public officials/etc are unthinkable to the average US observer and are symbolic of sickening levels of corruption and impunity in...

Its been a while since I've done a restaurant review, but we liked this one so much we went twice during our trip last week. Its north of the city, off the road to get to Sandy Beach without going through town. I'll post a crude map I made and a couple pictures we took. You turn north off the...
