    A US tourist was beaten and stripped of cash...Periódico De Frente

    Costco in RP? I don't think Penasco could support both a Costco and a Sam's Club. The few times I've been in the RP Sam's it wasn't that busy. I went there during Spring Break this year and even with a bunch of American's buying up the toilet paper they had in stock, it had less than 30-40...

    Wind Turbines

    They are designed to de-pitch the blades in winds with high energy and at 55 mph, this prevents the blades from capturing wind to turn.

    Wind Turbines

    That's true about the wind limiter, when it's really blowing they shut it down. But even before Covid hit, for the past year those turbines should have been spinning more than they have been vs the year before. It's down to demand and cost value to find out why they're not spinning and making...

    There is a 5+ mile line waiting to get into Mexico at 6:45 PM, border closes in 75 minutes, lot's of people will be sleeping in their cars just like Labor Day weekend. More this time. It's backed up to the Visitor Center turn-off.

    Covid-19 is mutating again??

    We hope the Covid vaccine is effective, but read it only needs to be 50% for approval. I know most flu vaccines are in the range of 15-60% effective. And then you have Covid mutating. I really am hoping new cases don't explode over the next 3-8 months.

    Covid-19 is mutating again??

    Just when we were hoping the worst of Covid-19 had passed, Well it seems like it's mutating again, allowing itself to get around face masks and hand washing protection. How?? I guess we will find out. There are only 2 studies on this so far, that are suggesting this new strain is more...

    MJ the big white house near me on PP will be for sale sometime. I heard $1.5 mil, there's a ton of work still needed from sitting without any upkeep for the past 10 years. Gus's house next to Tucson Beach is a project, Gus has been living in a house across the street from it for years. Wait...

    Now for the bad news

    Agree Russ, Older lady from the US, $2K on her at 1:45 AM = A Huge Hummmmmmmmm??? From me. All the years I've been down to Penasco, I don't think I've ever had even more than $1,000 on me at one time. If I need more than that there's ATM's, can use a CC and I can write a check if needed, which...

    Wind Turbines

    The past 8 trips down since Jan of 2020, I've only seen one of them spinning one time. The power generated from them is supposed to go to the San Carlos /Guaymas area. I don't think it's a maintenance issue. Even last year there were many days they were not spinning when we were there. It...

    There's a Benji Brown is Gus's brother about 20 years younger. I don't think he's a lawyer There was a guy named Rayal Taylor who ran Gus's SBR company for many years he may have been a lawyer. I think he retired. I didn't hear about Gus's plane crashing.

    The story about Gus's plane was in the paper, I talked to his brother Danny about it and he stated the plane was taken and the lawyers were attempting to get it back. I don't think he ever got it back though. I'd get in on the cerveza thing and share. It would be an interesting evening. I've...

    High Tide of Year 9/17

    New and full moon's usually mean tides of 16 1/2 - 19 feet in Penasco. 2-3 times per year they get over 18 feet. The past few high tides have been destructive from the combination of the high tide and the wind blowing from the SE and S at 20+mph. (also home owners trying to control nature with...

Danny died in 2005 or 07. The big white house on Pinto Point, Danny started building for his family...
