When the big border gate rolls closed, if your car is on the border line, they will make you pull forward to enter the US. Those behind you either sleep in their cars, find a motel in Sonoyta or drive back to Penasco to find a place. With the 8PM closure, I leave from Phx by 3PM or the latest...

Once you get past Laguna shores and the other developments, I've seen ATV's, Jeeps and Razors on the beach. It's more of a Who's going to enforce the no vehicles on the beach out there? As long as a vehicle isn't tearing up the beach, I have no issues with ATV's just cruising on the beach. We...

Wood in Penasco is the same as Dorito snacks for Termites. Block and Foam/Cement roofs are the way to go. I've been fighting the termites for 15 years now.

Beer cans everywhere? Mostly locals, I'm sure also some Americans. I am really surprised by their careless trash ideas. Our place in Cholla Bay has an empty lot in front which is great for sunsets and access to shore fishing. The locals are there almost every night, the next morning there are...

I stopped by Jesse's today to pick up some large browns, we spoke and he repeated what Stu said. I read that 1/3 of the fleet wasn't allowed out on opening day for shrimping. Jesse said the boat captains are hearing the season might be shut down right after New Year due to the low shrimp counts...

Satellite Internet called Vis Sat, I believe. Star Link in a few years. You will need a generator/Solar system for long term stays. . We built in Cholla before electric went in, 2-3 day stays were OK just running a small generator for minimal power needs. After trying to stay for 7-10 days at...

That story isn't new, I read it 2-3 years ago. Sad but old news with more to it that what's in the article. Most of the bad things that happen in Mexico doesn't affect virtually any of the Gringo's living in Mexico. Sure bad stuff happens there almost daily but it happens also in the US as...

San Carlos is next to Guaymas, it's about 6 hours south of Peñasco. You go thru Hermosillo

Cholla Bay, but I've been at Playa del Oro 10 years ago and there were a lot of kid's getting treats. If you don't bring candy down with you, Sam's Club had a nice selection, you can buy in there without a membership I think they add 5-10% to the total.

I bet this year there will be kid's out Trick or treating. Last year (due to CV) was very subdued, not a lot of kids out. Previous years we've had a fair amount of kid's, 3 years our son was down, he ran out of candy and started giving out all of the change he had. He finally had to leave and...

The new Sonoran Governor is still trying to figure out where the Peso's are going to come from. Traditionally the previous administration's spends/steals any Peso's still in the treasury before the next regime comes in. The cruise port has many obstacles in it's way, so don't hold your breath.

I use peso's cash for most everything under $100. I use Capitol One debit card for ATM withdrawals (no foreign transaction fees). (There are a few other Debit cards without the foreign fee) I use the Banamex ATM's in Super Ley, Sam's, Walmart or Super Norte store, fee is 30.74 pesos. And use...

Villa is very territorial in dealing with customers. Hippie will be happy, but you will get that death stare from Villa every time he see's you.

Here's the easy way as posted earlier. I keep one wallet for driving in Mexico, with my DL, Mex Insurance card and less than 500 pesos and less than $20 US. No CC or debit card. My regular wallet is safely hidden away. My son used this method to pay, Nada, ZERO, when he was stopped in April...

Joe, The new boat looks great. You have a sound system that will blow away the all the locals partying in front us on Pinto point. I hope to see that in play. :cool:

Usually Trigger fish for tacos and Flounder for fish platters. But during May-Oct mainly Trigger fish

Here's an update from the RP Times FB page on Aug 5th. New restrictions starting on Monday 8/9 =AZXJBHBYlBaSnAxl5L-DKUq9eWlkU7FMwBSL8ksCI0j-z3J-Vjvz_LyZeBMc_VwYBBbj3XjXk6awpwHGucmoXHuqTU-ljY66R2Vu6taSLzq1V1Bm3h7z0jOXNWMmwgyjzr7l3_zCYc4akCmnlstZlMSi&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R']Rocky Point Times Newspaper...

With the Delta variant being easier to spread, sadly, going back to masks, sanitizing mats, social distancing, good hygiene and more people getting vaccinations are where to start. Enforcing these measures is what will help slow it down. Limiting Mexico visitors along with crowds in bars...

I heard the Princessa allows owners to rent directly without a management company.
