Follow-up report, our 4 kids came down in 2 different cars and on different days, zero issues both directions, all did the 23mph crawl. The 3 younger ones went home today and just showed their passports without even a question about what they were bringing back. Again super easy.

Our 3 - 20-26 year old kids came down, they got the red light, got a quick search including the engine compartment. Other than that easy peasy, did the 23 mph crawl and 3-5 count at the stop signs. I guess our family has the lucky look about us.

Our 28 year old son passed thru Sonoyta today at 6:30 PM, did the 23 mph crawl and 5 second stop sign count, zero issues.

Just lucky or didn't have a nice enough car to warrant trying to get $100-200 out of them.

Our friends who came down on Sat, went home Monday, arrived in Sonoyta at 12:30 did the 23mph crawl without any problems. 10 min wait to cross into the US. We have 3 of our kid's coming down on Friday we'll see how that works out, but they know the drill.

Our friends came down to stay with us and had a Sonoyta Policia follow them on their bumper from the 1st street south of the entry until after they turned off calle Septemibre back onto 8 again at 10:30am today. They locked the cruise at 22mph and at the 3 stop signs they stopped did a 5 count...

Since Aug 2020, Mexico (at least Sonora with Penasco) has declared Tourism essential travel. We came down on the 16th, no issues just like it's been since Penasco opened back up for owners in late July/Aug. We've been down 12+ times since last summer. Lot's of people have been here the past 2...

It is busier than I have seen in the past 2 years. In town lot's of traffic on Benito Juarez. Pollo Lucas was packed on the 3 days we drove by during the late afternoon, this past week. We went to La Curva on Tuesday around 6PM, It was 3/4 full and by the time we left at 7PM another 25 people...

For all the AZ colleges not having an official Spring Break, there were, many, many college aged people here this past weekend. We haven't gone into town at night yet, but JJ's in Cholla had 25-30 cars out front the 3 times I drove by there in the afternoon. Lots of cars and quads driving in...

Another option, The Why Not Store will store gun's and ammo. Apparently they do a good business on big weekends for that service.

One solution is to get a duplicate drivers license and tell them you'll pay at the station, then hand them the extra license and drive to Penasco or head to the border. Remember to only keep $20-40 in your wallet with any other cash and cards hidden well. If pressed the Policia will take what...

We saw lot's of RV's, Trucks hauling trailers and trucks/SUV's hauling side by sides heading north on Friday before noon.

Drove thru Sonoyta today at 10:30am, we had a line with 25 cars, they were checking every 3rd car. We got the green light. The Marines 100 feet south of the agent station had 4 cars pulled over checking them over, most were college aged girls. Just before the curve, a police truck had a Mercedes...

I've seen a few brands in Super Norte grocery store, Limited though.

I read no restrictions this year for Spring Break and Semana Santa.

The rumor has been, The owners want to charge more than CFE does. All down to $$.

I always have an expired license in my wallet for occasions like that.

I glad to hear there is some availability. Last week, I went to 3 different Modelorama's and there weren't any 12 oz bottles of Pacifico's in stock, I had to settle for Pacifico lite and Victoria. Since Oct it seems there has been a shortage of Pacifico around town, very, hit or miss on being...

After crawling thru Sonoyta, you have 3-4 park rangers on the your trek thru Organ Pipe and another 4-6 Sherriff's in and around Ajo and a handful in Gile Bend. So in all we have to deal with a 45+ mile long Speed trap zone. The difference is in Mexico your fine is $40-100, in the US it's $240.
