Even a late lunch in Guaymas! Before yesterday, I last traveled it on washboarded dirt and sand a couple decades back, camping gear on board. It's set up to be a world-class destination drive now.

Thought I'd roust this "ghost forum" with a quick update on Coastal Highway construction and other info from a Christmas Eve drive we did yesterday from San Carlos to Penasco, along the coastal route. Terrific trip, and much faster at 5:40 than I'd expected (the "normal" route through...

I was out paddleboarding this week. The water's so clear and filled with of billions of little fish schooling this way and that, you get vertigo. The birds are gorging themselves.

Today's progress at "Wrecked at the..." Um, I mean "at the Reef."

Hold your fire. That's Mexico "Monkfish" Russ, 7 years back.

Monkfish > Mulletfish > Mullet

What a bitter thing to think, and a disgusting thing to say.

As most Mexico travelers know, one trick is to not clear out the total from the car before you. So they add a little to yours and, you pay for both. I haven't seen this in Rocky Point yet, but after a couple lessons at highway Pemexes, I still reflexively always glance over my shoulder to make...

I like Mike, but he is kinda dour. His bar staff hasn't been very attentive or personable when I've been in there. It can be hot inside. The TVs aren't as good as others in town. The blinds are askew, sort of suggesting overall malaise. And when they're closed, the nice view of the port is...

Um. Maybe.

Just to show it can be done! Independence Day weekend, 2013.

He and his buddies were playing cornhole at Wrecked Friday. I've never seen so many beanbags flop into the holes.

I know...she is so bold as to say she wants to stay at the swim-up bar while he puts in his 90-hour weeks and her autistic and Aspergers kids are taken care of in a resort kid's club. Ugh. And at the end the kids both want to bunk together in the room she didn't think was fit for even one of...

If I'm an accountant in Newark right now, seeing a modern 2+BR condo with waterslides on a warm beach going for $130k, I'm Googling "Rocky Point Dan". They took some generous liberties with the openers, showing a more lushly tropical locale, and botched the distance from Chandler as 400 miles...

I know I'm a relative newtimer at least as a part-time resident, but so far my standards are Wrecked and Capone's for service and overall first-rate product. El Conchal on Benito Juarez and that BYOB taco place on Sinaloa north of Fremont for local delicioso-ness. El Barco on Estero Marua for...

Exceptionally and consistently poor service. I brought parties of employees, clients, and family there and would have gladly shelled out for more food and drink than they sold us...if only they'd let me. Then they would have all come back on their own, and those they brought back with them...

Chollabill, please post as many as you can, on the Forum or your FB page. They're gaining a bit of viral-ness as some of us re-post them (with proper credit, please, people). It's only good for Penasco...besides being incredibly bitchin'.

That explains the low angle. Awe-inspiring shots!

Isn't it too low of an angle to be from Capitan? If it's really from Penasco, I wish a landmark like Comp. Hill or the Sandy Beach resorts were in it.
