    Anyone crossed at San Luis and taken Coastal highway down lately?

(have some pesos with you) Drove to the check point by El Doctor, took them 2 minutes for them to look in my car, Off I went. About 1/2 way between...

    Playa de Oro Suites

    Joe, there is probably a 16% tax and fees on top of that $700. They're pricing is competitive with the condos.

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Seems like there were plenty who chose staying in their cars and more trying to find lodging. Ajo motels were full early so some people went to Gila Bend and rented a room, some people went home. I also heard a few drove to Yuma and went thru San Luis- El Golfo - Penasco which added another...

    There are a ton of people down there this weekend, all the condo's are full. So no water and no beer is not surprising. Water is being diverted to the Resorts and many stores have cut back on their inventory because of the uncertainty with visitors over the next few months. Hundred's of cars...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    True what you say, I talked to my local buddy and it was the worst on Friday he's ever seen it in 30 years of living in Penasco. We were there last week and came home on Wed, weather was a bit better than the week before just enough to tease us for the weather coming in Oct. when it goes...

    Trip report Aug 8, 2020

    I haven't seen this in many years, but on Friday at 7:45 pm, there was a 2.5-3 mile long line waiting to cross into Mexico at Lukeville. Apparently not many were aware that the border closes at 8 pm since they changed the hours in April. Result many slept in their cars in the 95-85 degree...

    Playa de Oro Suites

    They did a very nice job on those units. Good for them to have some nice rentals available on a beach away from the mob's at the condos.

    We came back today and agent was more interested in what's in my ice chest. Lukeville crossing agents are not even mentioning anything about the travel restrictions. 3 trips the past month and nada about the travel restrictions going on now. Mexico agents not enforcing it.

    9/1 Update Really windy and some rough seas out there. But look what I spotted out there patrolling off of Pinto Point in Cholla Bay. It's bow was really bouncing from the waves. It was still 4-5 miles out. Big zoom lens is nice to have on a real camera. :) It's probably a 300 foot long ship...

    8/31 Update, Heat has returned, still some wind. The wife and I went to Collin's Sports bar at the Princessa Condo project, I've never been there, it's small with 10-12 tables and bar seating. They gave us some hand sanitizer and scanned our arm for our temps. Well they had a happy hour for...

    It's always about the $$ and that's anywhere. Out of 100, if Covid mattered 51% vs the economy at 49%, the economy win's. Since this is an election year, so now if Covid mattered 80% the economy would still win because problems associated with Covid is secondary to many politicians. They may say...

    The 2 trips I've been down this month have been super easy. Zero problems in Sonoyta and a few questions at the bridge sanitary check point. And a quick sanitizing spray coming into Cholla Bay. The biggest issue I have had is that Pacifico cerveza is really hard to find at the Modelorama stores...

    FB, see a post once and then it disappears or it's really hard to find later. I am not a FB fan but use it to communicate with my Penasco friends only when needed.

    I'm going back down Sat to hopefully see the next wave of storms come north from Baja. Maybe Penasco will catch one so I can see a big lightning storm. I'm not looking forward to the 80 degree dew points again, it was pretty rough last week. But the wife said we're going, so I'm going.
