    Hey Yuma......... I'm not sure if this applies to the boat but I think a TIPS is a TIPS. I used go to San Carlos pretty regularly and to LA Bay BC in my old 2004 Ford F-150. Had to do the import thing every time and was supposed to turn in the documents to the Mex Customs each trip and re-do...

    Scorps on the beach

    Broken........... Your tale reminds me of one of my own IGNORANT experiences. Sept 1979 Persian Gulf coastal desert of Iran, much like Bahia San Jorge Sonora. I spot an abandoned fish camp on the beach, maybe six mud and brush huts filled with all kinds of important fishing junk left...

    Scorps on the beach

    I can remember back in the early 70's summers sleeping on the ground a few hundred feet from my then non-existant condo, behind the dune just one hundred feet north of the then non-existant Ave Sinaloa. Never felt em crawl in but the next morning shook out my sleeping bag to drape over a rope...

    Scorps on the beach

    Ya know Broken................... I've always thought that the granite rocks at La Cholla would be primo habitat for the nastiest of all north American rattlers, the Mojave Rattlesnake. Although smaller than the Western Diamond Rattlesnake they sport a deadly mix of both hemotoxic and...

    Scorps on the beach

    Stu............ There really aren't many snakes around Penasco proper, it's just too salty and lacks natural prey animals for the bigger ones. I did see a large Red Racer on the beach at the end of Sinaloa two years ago. It was making a dash for the Sea across the hot beach sand and went...

    Scorps on the beach

    JimMcG.......... What you have described is almost 100% the very common but rarely seen completely harmless unless you are a Sand Roach or Camel Cricket, the Sonoran Shovel-nosed Snake. Adults are ten to sixteen inches long with gloss black and deep red saddles over a yellowish to pink...

    Scorps on the beach

    Dirt............. The large scorpion that you observed was probably the Giant Hairy Scorpion aka: the Sand Dune Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis) These are the largest scorpions in North America reaching almost five inches in length. Their weak venom is less dangerous than a Honey Bee sting...

    That my friends is a Havasu lake boat.............. I'd love to see it heading into a six foot swell with a 40 knot quartering wind and chop bouncing it like a painted cork fishing bobber. Had a friend a few years back with something similar that wanted to tag along to Isla San Jorge. He had...

    Hey Jerry..................... Trump fan yes, I even voted twelve times just like the Demo-Rat-Commies did, used the names of all of my dead Johnny Reb relations, lots of Davis in the past, just a simple matter of mail in ballots that I pinched from the neighborhood mail boxes and delivered in...

    Bonus........... I do brush my tooth sometimes once a week and gargle with everclear several times a day, no bad breath from me. Some people even tell me that my sweet breath smells, like the little yellow crystal thing-ee hanging on the edge of a gas station urinal. How nice. And Tico, one...

    "Jungle Rot".......yes as a matter of fact I have had the pleasure to be the victim of it many times. Wonderful memories of mushrooms poking their little white heads from inside my combat boots in the morning and the clusters of straw mushrooms happily at home in my armpits and crotch. And the...

    Hooolaaa Anyone there???

    So Tico.......... I finally had recollection of where and when I did first deal with a "Jag Off". It was during a courts-martial back in the 80's when I was accused of being a druggie by my drug dealing black Spanish speaking Panamanian dual citizen US Army Sergeant Major. Seems he thought he...

    Man that sucks............... Probably plenty of last April catch still frozen in blocks being pitched as muy fresca. Still better than Sam's Club or Wal Mart. The guys out on Salinas Point don't give a rats patooie about any stinkin season. I'll check them out on Sept first. JJ
